In this book Rita Cheminais shows you how your setting can achieve the Every Child Matters (ECM) Standards. Paying attention to the practical details, she provides advice and guidance on:

-applying the ECM standards to mainstream primary and secondary schools, special schools, Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) and Children′s Centres;

-undertaking the ECM Standards audit;

-monitoring and evaluating progress;

-building a portfolio of evidence;

-the assessment process.

The evidence gathered towards meeting the ECM Standards can be fed into and inform the OFSTED school self-evaluation form (SEF).

The author has also included:

-full evidence descriptors for each of the 12 ECM Standards in table format, aligned with the relevant ECM outcomes;

-useful summary checklists;

-an accompanying CD full of downloadable material, including an improvement planning and self-evaluation framework and a Power-Point presentation.

Every educational setting needs this book.
