All Schools
In October GCC will pilot a virtual multi-agency forum accessible to all schools to seek support for children and young people whose needs are not being met and may be at risk of exclusion. This has been put in place to support schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also aligns with the JAN and High Needs strategies, which are focused on ensuring the right support is available at the right time. More information is available on the Bulletin Board at the above link.
