What we do
- We are a small group of professionals with expertise across Education, Health and Social Care
- We support the network around the child/young person and their family to identify creative ways to achieve good outcomes and develop positive and person-centred solutions, including the identification of alternative support and funding streams.
- We ask that the Graduated Approach has been applied over time and evidenced as unsuccessful.
- Referrals are through professionals only
- We require family/carer and school to give their consent for information to be shared with project partners, are actively engaged with us and are open to change and doing things differently
