听
The majority of our children/young people have an Education, Health, and Care Plan听(EHCP) with their primary special need being Autism and require support to access education, have difficulty initiating or limited social interactions and need support with organisation and problem solving, which can hamper independence. They may听be working at or above age-related expectations or with moderate learning听difficulties. They may also have a variety of additional special educational needs associated with their autism spectrum challenges.
听
In Education, all children/young people have an allocated Tutor who acts as the main听point of contact, acts as an advocate for the child/young person, oversees them pastorally and liaises closely with parents/carers and other professionals.
听
Keyworker support
听
Each child/young person has an allocated keyworker, who liaises with the family and the young person in the home. The Keyworker acts as the trusted, primary adult who听supports the child/young person to develop strategies to manage their day-to- day life and develop independent skills and acts as an advocate for the child, liaising closely with parents and professionals. The Keyworker supports the child/young person to pursue hobbies or access activities they would like to try, understand the wider community and help build relationships and make friends.
