What specialist services are accessed by the school?
The school access a range of specialist services. This includes the use of the Locality Inclusion Support Team (LIST) which incorporates access to educational psychiatrists, special behaviour support workers and specialist teachers for autism, behaviour, literacy, speech, language and communication. The Educational Welfare Officer is used to support the attendance of SEND pupils. The services of CYPS (Children and Young Peoples’ Service) is used to address mental health issues and Autism. We access these support services by a referral to the West Northumberland Multi agency HUB which meets weekly virtually and agency senior leaders meet every 3 weeks. The HUB discusses the cases and a decision is made regarding referrals to an appropriate agency and assesses if an EHA (Early Help Assessment) is appropriate.
If a referral to a specialist service is considered necessary for your child by the school, then we would discuss this with you, either by phone or in person. We would also seek your written consent, and always keep you fully informed and involved.
