We  understand that some children may require additional support for learning.  We use a model known as the GIRFEC Pathway, which is used across Inverclyde, to support children and young people.

If we observe that a child requires additional support, in any aspect of their learning and development,  we will discuss these with  parents and work together to develop strategies to try to support the child. It is important to remember that all children are individual and learn and develop at their own pace.

To ensure that we are fully supporting a child’s needs we may suggest seeking support from one of our partner agencies.  We will discuss any concerns, and gather parents consent,  before seeking support from another professional.

We would encourage parents to speak with a member of staff if they have any questions or concerns about their child’s progress or if they feel they would like to seek support from another service.

The agencies we work with include:

• Speech and Language Therapist
• Early Years Outreach Team
• Health Visitors
• Educational Psychologist
• Occupational Therapist
• Dietician
