Expert at Hands
We support the Experts at Hand offer by bringing specialist expertise into mainstream early years, primary, secondary and post-16 settings to identify and address children and young people’s SEND earlier, remove barriers to learning and strengthen staff capability. Working with local area partnerships, we provide time-limited, evidence-based input from speech and language therapists, educational psychologists, occupational therapists and specialist teachers, helping staff embed recommendations and sustain tailored support.
Working Together to Strengthen SEND Support.
Our provision adds to existing capacity and does not replace existing support or statutory provision set out in education, health and care (EHC) plans. We draw on expertise from alternative provision and specialist settings and work in partnership with education, health and families to improve outcomes, help reduce pressure on specialist services over time and contribute to a more inclusive, sustainable SEND system that values parent-carer voices.
