Provide feedback on the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) strategy

Priority 4: I am as healthy as possible

As part of our delivery of this priority we will ensure:

Early identification and early support

  • Children, young people, and their families understand how to access support, receive good communication and have a positive experience from all services.

Clear pathways to access support and services

  • Children and young people’s health needs, and importantly their mental health, are identified early and support is put in place at the earliest opportunity. Children and young people do not need to be in crisis before support is offered.

The right support, from the right people, at the right time

  • Children and young people get the support that makes a difference and helps them make progress towards the outcomes that matter to them. There is good support available from universal, targeted and specialist services that meet the needs of families at the right time.

Support for wellbeing in all Rotherham educational settings

The emotional wellbeing of children and young people is part of the life and work of schools and colleges and there is mental health expertise in every school and setting.
