We are a team of specialist teachers who support
schools. We are not therapists, counsellors or medical
mental health practitioners and whilst we do work with
those services when they are involved, we cannot offer
this level of specialist support should it be needed.
Children and young people with additional social,
emotional and mental health needs may struggle to
access or engage with learning.
We work with schools to help them better understand
the needs of pupils with additional SEMH needs and
how they can be best supported.

We develop inclusion plans for schools to use to
support the pupil and we do this through a variety of
avenues.
We:
•
Consult with school to explore current strengths
and areas of concern
•
Complete observations in school
•
Carry out a pupil voice
•
Provide advice and guidance
•
Model strategies to school staff
•
Draw upon the support and guidance from other
SES Services
•
Signpost to other agencies
