SEN Team Structure

One v4 supports multi-agency team working as well as specialised teams. Records such as involvements, activities, provisions, etc. are owned by a specific SEN service team and access is controlled accordingly.

When you create a new service team you must link it to an Establishment which represents a hierarchical team structure with Posts and Users. System users (which are mapped to People in the people database) occupy those posts.

Before you can create a new service team, the hierarchical SEN team structure for your Local Authority must be in place, as follows:

• Users are mapped to Posts
• Posts are mapped to an Establishment
• An Establishment is linked to Service Teams
  (Service Teams are linked to Involvement Forms)

The hierarchy itself is not important, what is important is identifying all the posts and specifically identifying those posts that are Caseworkers and those posts that are Administration Officers. System Users occupying those Posts constitute the members of the Service Team.

Service Teams and Involvement Forms

A caseworker who creates an involvement record for a student must be assigned to a post in the establishment that is linked to a service team. That service team can then be linked to one or more involvement forms. Only involvement forms which include such service teams are available for selection by that user.
