Who do we work with to support the young people who come to us?

As always, supporting any young person with Additional Support Needs is a team effort. The people and agencies included in this team will depend on the needs of the young person. It will certainly involve:

  • Pupil Support
  • Senior Management Team
  • Class teachers
  • Staff from the wider Support for Learning team

Although this is not an exhaustive list, it may also include:

  • Working with colleagues from the Home Economics and Physical Education departments to gain access to their settings outwith class time
  • Education Outreach partners
  • Social Work
  • Partners in Health such as the school nurse or Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team
  • School Counselling Service
  • Employability Pathway and Bridges
