The support available from your child’s school is outlined in the SEND Information Report, published on the school website. This report provides information about a school’s individual arrangements for identifying, assessing and making provision for pupils with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities. School should also access advice and training from the SENAS and SALT services if required.

Educational Psychology
Educational Psychologists can provide consultation and assessment within education which focus on a child’s needs concerning accessing education and learning.

If there are educational concerns regarding your child, please discuss these with school staff (e.g., teacher, SENCo) in the first instance. Staff can then consider if school-based assessment or intervention may address these concerns, or whether to discuss support from any other services, e.g., Educational Psychology.
