how we secure specialist expertise

As well as receiving support from other professionals and agencies, if a child has complex special educational needs, we could also receive support from the Local Authority. This could be support from an Educational Psychologist or funding from the Local Authority for additional staffing to meet the child’s agreed outcomes.
