Health and care

Some children who have additional needs will benefit from extra help and support from health and social care services.

Understanding who to talk to and when you should talk to them is key. It is important to know what you can expect from different services to help your child and also to help you.

For children who have medical needs

When children and young people are unable to attend school due to medical reasons, a teacher or learning mentor can work with them at home, at the Home Tuition base or other suitable venues, or in hospital.

In exceptional circumstances support can also be provided for children who have been excluded or who have a statement of special educational needs and are awaiting appropriate placement.
