Define the purpose before the rollout
Start by describing the people you want to support and the goals of the programme. A clear purpose helps the team decide whether ReadON fits the setting and how it will sit alongside existing support.
Bring the relevant decision-maker and the people who would deliver the activities into the early discussion. Ask for a platform walkthrough and current implementation requirements.
Agree responsibility and training
Identify who will check suitability, oversee consent, supervise sessions and review progress. Product onboarding and ReadON certification should be understood separately from the professional qualifications required in your setting.
For a school, include the learning-support team and agree how families will be involved. For a practice, consider how the programme fits the client’s wider care pathway.
Check the practical details
Confirm the computer setup, internet access, available space and timetable. Discuss how staff will record observations and who will have access to participant information.
Request a written proposal that distinguishes programme delivery from billable platform use. Check any ongoing charges, support arrangements and terms before making a commitment.
Plan the review at the beginning
Agree how the starting point will be recorded and when the team will review the programme. That makes it easier to discuss progress, delivery challenges and the appropriate next step.
A small, defined introduction can help your team understand the practical requirements before considering wider use. Expansion should follow a considered review of the fit for your learners or clients.
General information about ReadON programme participation. Individual suitability and professional advice remain important.
