Statutory Assessment – Walkthrough

Welcome to the request for statutory assessment walkthrough video which covers the following areas.
The first time you visit the site, you'll be asked to click on the Begin Your Application button if you don't have an account yet, you can set up a new account by completing the email address and clicking the button below that says, Create New Account.

As it has sent a new message to your email that you entered, if you go to your inbox and click on the link, it will take you to the page to set a password so you can get back in the next time you visit.
So complete the two password boxes, making sure use a capital letter and a number and you will notice that once you have completed both of them, it will confirm that the passwords match by turning from No to Yes, click Save and then you're ready to enter by clicking the My Account button at the top right hand side.
To add a new request, click on Get Started.
You will notice that going through the form you will have a red asterisk beside the fields that must be completed before you're allowed to continue through the form. Along the top you’ll also see buttons from 1 to 7, which gives you an idea of how far through the form you are.
You can complete the date of birth either by completing the numbers as we showed you here or by clicking on the calendar icon and selecting the date of the calendar. The age will be automatically completed.  You can find your address by typing in the postcode or the entire address and it will find it for you and complete the boxes. Spoken Language At Home- again, you can start typing or you can scroll through the options here and pick what's relevant.
For any of these questions, if you're unsure, you can just click, Don't Know and you'll be able to move forward. So for example, if there are any Care Orders that affect your child, you can let us know about those or any family circumstances. By hovering over these questions, going through the form, it will give you some tips on what's necessary to fill into the boxes. So the question mark here says, for example, Shared Living Arrangements which you could put in there to help officers whenever they're dealing with your case.
Similarly, if your child is on the Special Educational Needs register at school, or if they have an IEP, you can choose the correct button. The Health and Social Care Trust information- if you have that, it's great to get it, but if you don't, you can still move forward as we've shown here.
Now in the parent details you must confirm that you have parental responsibility, and if you're not sure what that is, clicking on the blue writing there will give you an overview of who holds parental responsibility.

Now we need the details of the parent- you can put more than one parent in as you'll see, but this is the first parent details, including contact number and very importantly the email address, as all correspondence will be sent to this email address in the future.
If the parent’s address is different to the child’s address, tick this button and complete the information and you can also add information on the second parent by clicking this button.
Clicking next takes you forward to the next page.
This is the School Details next, so- what’s your child’s current year group? Choose that from the list.
And the school- by starting to type any part of the school name, will help you to navigate the long list of schools. So in this case we put it in a few letters of the school and we are able to pick it from the list much more easily.
If your child has been at a different school in the past 18 months, let us know that because it's easier for us to find the child on our information databases.
This is an important page on the details of the child's needs, so we need to know what difficulties your child is experiencing- what you think those difficulties are and what help has been provided to date.
In these boxes you can put up to 500 words, but if you have other evidence, perhaps something that's in a document that you would like to upload, click on the Yes button, click on Upload and for example you could upload the most recent Individual Education Plan for your child.
We are going to show you what the message is like if you try to go forward without filling in a mandatory field so the message says you haven't filled in these two boxes yet. As you can see they have a red star beside them, so they have to be completed before you can move forward.
Any length of detail up to 500 words will allow you to move forward.
The next page is around the professionals involved, so if your child has been seen by a professional, click on Yes and then you will be given dropdowns on the type of support and where support is being provided. So for example in this case we might say that the Education Authority provided Language and Communication Service support. If you happen to know the name of who's been supporting your child, you can enter that but you don't have to. You will be able to move forward. As you can see there is no red star beside these details so you can move forward if you don't complete those. Again you could have uploaded other documentation in support. 
Finally the confirmation page which is the data protection statement and then it's compulsory to add the Parent’s name and as you can see we have the email address already in there that you put in earlier and when you hit submit it will go immediately to the EA and you have an overview of what's been submitted.
