Kirklees Outreach support is delivered by the Ethos Academy Trust teaching and support staff, supporting in and in partnership with mainstream primary and secondary schools. The service is commissioned by Kirklees Council who have a commitment to children and young people with special educational needs being educated in their local mainstream school as far as possible, and as such strives to provide strong support for families, children and young people during their transition to and from their local school.
Outreach staff work effectively with partners, including health & social care, to ensure early identification and ongoing assessment of children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs is in place as soon as possible. Experienced teachers offer advice to schools through our Outreach Advice portal and through Single Point Referral.
The service also provides transition support through experienced Inclusion Workers for children who have been permanently excluded from school and children with Education, Health and Care Plans who require a bespoke transition into a new setting.
The support for our children, young people and families is part of Ethos Academy Trust continuum of SEMH provision.
