We have produced a one-page spread of who several of the teams are, what they do, and how to get in touch! We are now making progress on updating our Local Offer to ensure information is clear and accessible on there about who are teams are, but please see this sheet in the meantime. Most teams in the council can be accessed by discussing any concerns with your school or setting's SENCO, who can submit a Request for Involvement form if they feel your child or young person needs additional support in school.
Please note there are additional teams not covered in this poster who can provide information and support to families:
