Referral Ministry of Education Special Education Psychological/psycho-social grounds

    Student has assessed psychological or psycho-social needs verified by a Ministry of Education psychologist. All referrals must be signed-off by the Ministry Special Education Service Regional Manager (or their delegate).

    The Ministry referral letter must:

    (a) clearly state the supervision arrangements for the student’s study with Te Kura; and

    (b) provide an educational profile (where available), and the name of the previous school; and

    (c) include a statement from a Ministry of Education psychologist indicating how the psychological or psycho-social issues are to be addressed; and

    (d) confirm consideration of how a pastoral care and/or learning support relationship with a reasonably convenient local school might be maintained while the student is enrolled with Te Kura; and

    (e) set a review period for the enrolment

    **Psychological grounds**
    The psychological grounds must reside within the individual student and be of sufficient severity to prevent or seriously impede the student from attending a reasonably convenient school.

    **Psycho-social grounds**
    The psychological grounds must reside within the individual student. The social grounds must reside within the student’s relationships in the wider environment, including their family, whanau and school.

    While neither factor on its own might be sufficient, in tandem, there will be good reason for an enrolment recommendation.
