Additional Support Needs (ASN Support)

We support children with a wide range of additional needs and work closely with families and partner agencies.

Every child is different, and support will look different too. You do not need a diagnosis to ask for help.

Support is planned based on individual needs and may involve a range of approaches, including targeted support, partnership working and regular review.

What we can support with

advice and guidance
planning support for your child
working with partner services
ongoing review and support

We work in partnership with families to ensure children are supported effectively and appropriately.
