Connect2Education encourage visits prior to referral, as we know a visit can often confirm whether we are a setting that is likely to meet the needs of a child or young person.  We would not advise parents and carers visit without a designated lead from their child or young person’s school or a local authority representative.

Quality Assurance visits are standard and schools carry these out termly as per their policy.

Attendance to the centre is recorded and reported daily to the designated attendance officer, in the school where the child is on roll. Attendance at outreach venues and online is also reported to the school after each session.

No. It is not a requirement that a young person has an Education & Health Care Plan to access provision. However many of the young people we work with are often on the pathway to assessment for a plan or may be awaiting the outcome of a plan. As a specialist provision we are asked to contribute information to an educational assessment whilst a child or young person is with us. Connect2Education staff work with local authority advisors and Special  Educational Need & Disability Coordinators in schools or academies to ensure provision and planning for each child or young person is reviewed regularly.

We provide academic teaching and education support in quiet classrooms for children and young people (Primary and Secondary) including those who may be anxious or withdrawn and need a calm learning environment.  We are specialists in working with students who are neurodiverse or have a diagnosis of ASC.  We work with vulnerable children and young people who may also have mental health needs adversely affecting their ability to actively communicate with adults or socialise with peers.
