How it works
Evidence develops through a simple, repeatable cycle
Fianais follows the rhythm of good support practice: understand, plan, observe and review.
Understand
Know the learner and identify what matters.
Plan & try
Agree practical strategies and use them in class.
Observe
Gather evidence on impact and participation.
Review
Reflect together and agree what happens next.
A continuous cycle of evidence and professional judgement.
Four stages, one connected record
Each stage adds useful context without asking staff to recreate what has already been recorded.
- 01
Understand the learner
Bring together the learner's experience, current context and the barriers affecting participation.
- 02
Plan and trial support
Agree practical strategies, where they will be used and when the team will review them.
- 03
Gather observations and feedback
Capture concise teacher observations and learner feedback during ordinary learning.
- 04
Review evidence and agree what works
Look for patterns, refine support and record the professional judgement behind decisions.
Over time
Normal Way of Working becomes visible through repeated use.
Evidence builds gradually across subjects, tasks and assessments. Reviews can then focus on patterns rather than isolated snapshots.
Roles involved
- Learners share what helps and what remains difficult.
- Teachers record what was used and what they observed.
- ASN teams coordinate trials, evidence and review.
- School leaders support consistent practice and oversight.
