  • helping children, their families and teachers through Inclusion Support Project work;
  • working with individuals and groups of children;
  • multi-agency collaboration;
  • Providing training for professional staff, voluntary groups, parents and carers
  • giving advice regarding needs and provision for individual children with Special Educational Needs as part of the statutory assessment process;
  • support for early years, including the Portage Home Teaching Service; and
