*<\/strong>An Identification of Concern should already have been made to the Head Teacher\/ designated member of staff and adaptations used in class to meet the needs of the learner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If this is insufficient to address the concern, an Request for Assistance (RfA) should be submitted to Supporting Learners, stating what the specific need is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Schools will receive advice and support from the Gypsy Traveller Service (this may be signposting to another Service depending on the need, or working face-to-face with the child where appropriate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
