SEND support: Remote and in school/ settings
Council SEND services continue to work hard to make sure schools and settings are supported to meet the needs of children with SEND.
The services (Educational Psychology, Autism Team, Deaf and Hearing Impaired service, Vision Support Service and 0-5 SEND) are able to come into schools and settings where needed. But they will provide support remotely where possible. This is to minimise the number of staff, that visit multiple locations, coming into school buildings.
Where remote work is not possible, the services will come into schools and settings to provide support face-to-face.
Services will discuss the best way to work with individual schools and settings. Please contact them to discuss the support you need and for any advice.
Health
Health services continue to accept new referrals and provide ongoing support and intervention for children already known to them.
To ensure everyone’s safety and minimise the risk of infection as much as possible, virtual appointments are being offered in the first instance, often with carers or school/setting staff.
Where virtual appointments are not possible or appropriate, face-to-face appointments and visits to school are still being offered.
