Disability Inclusion & SSGs

We are now well underway with our 80 Disability Inclusion Profile meetings (DIPM) for 2025. For staff undertaking a profile meeting this year, is it vital you refer to the evidence submitted and make connections to practice throughout. It is also important staff are using the language of "all the time" (extensive) or at least mention how frequent the adjustment is made. Thank you for the mountain of work you have all undertaken as part of this process.

SSGs: Translation Services

As mentioned in the School Update on the 19th of November, the Department has partnered with a new interpreting and translation services provider, All Graduates Interpreting and Translating, to provide interpreting and translation services to schools starting January 1 2025. This has replaced Language Loop.

Interpreting and translation services are available to parents and carers who have limited or no English language skills to communicate key information about their child’s education, such as for parent-teacher interviews (SSGs) or other one-to-one meetings.

We also offer interpreting and translation services for other school communications on iNewsletter, Xuno, SeeSaw and our website.

The most efficient method to make onsite, telephone and video interpreter bookings is via the All Graduates Client Booking Portal (https://bookings.allgraduates.com.au).

SSGs / Meeting iPad Notes Transcription

As part of the new iPad iOS 18 software update, in the Notes app, you can record audio and have the spoken words transcribed to text. You can search the transcript, add the text to the note, or copy the text to other documents. This will be a huge timesaver for staff in typing up meeting minutes, particular at SSGs which are used as DIP evidence.
