Teaching and support staff work closely with relevant members of specialist services who provide support for our school. The services which are working in our school this year include:
Occupational Therapy Service
Educational Psychology Service
CLCS- Speech and Language Service
PLSS- Behaviour Support Outreach
CAMHS/MHST support
Each service has referral and eligibility criteria – this means that service support is targeted on children with higher levels of need.
For example, speech and language therapy service:

and the Occupational Therapy service:
These services provide a range of support including:
- working one to one and with small group work with children
- providing training for teaching and support staff
- helping us to assess needs and plan next steps and review progress
We will always involve you in any decisions about whether your child has a special educational need and the best ways to provide support. If your child requires these services we will involve you in the process at every stage: we will ask you to sign a referral form before the support can go ahead.
You can find more information about specialist services who work with Camden schools in the Local Authority Local Offer website: Health and Care Services Section www.localoffer.camden.gov.uk
