What professionals may visit my child at School?

From time to time, professionals from outside the setting may arrange to visit your child whilst at School. One reason for a visit may be to ensure that the right support is being offered to your child, and to discuss other techniques which may benefit them, or to signpost to other agencies or strategies. Below you will see a list of professionals that we liaise with regularly. Please have a look at their websites for further information:
