Our Mission
We are ambitious for our children and young people . We want all our CYP to thrive, to be happy ,healthy and to achieve their potential in their educational setting.
We will achieve this through working alongside local schools and other agencies so that we can understand the specific needs and offer swift targeted early intervention and support.
Our goal is to improve inclusion and increase the capacity of local schools so that they can meet the needs of local CYP with complex needs.
