Admission - CUBE

ADMISSION TO CUBE

The CUBE (Communication and Understanding Behaviours for Education) is a high-quality, short-term alternative provision (intervention) providing SEMH support for children in Years 2-6, their families and schools across Redbridge. As it is a short term intervention placement, a referral to the CUBE can only be done through a child’s mainstream school. The placement is split between CUBE and the mainstream setting so that children still feel part of their mainstream community and have opportunities to practice strategies and develop confidence and resilience in regulating their behaviours. The final decision of a CUBE placement is made by the Chair of the Redbridge Primary Behaviour Panel (RPBP). Decisions are guided by the Equality Act 2010 and the collective view of panel members. The panel consists of the Head of Behaviour and Inclusion and members of the Behaviour and Inclusion Team, Educational Psychologist, Senior Educational Welfare Officer, Senior SEND Team representative, the head teacher of Cranbrook Primary, head teacher representatives from Redbridge primary schools and the CUBE Manager.
