Specialist Support Services
All schools refer relevant pupils to a wide range of specialist support services such as speech therapy, child and adolescent mental health services, family support services, intensive behaviour support, and (for young people) sexual health services.
Schools, support services and agencies work together to ensure the needs of all children, young people and their parents or carers, are met. Staff in different agencies work together and share information to promote child safety and well-being. Sharing information with children, young people and their families, so that processes and issues are understood and clear, is important, as is understanding issues and legislation relating to confidentiality of information.
