Outreach

Outreach support is provided by Somerset special schools to their local mainstream schools.  It aims to build capacity and support further development to meet the needs for learners who have special educational needs.

We are pleased to introduce Somerset's outreach offer, which is available to provide schools, settings, and young people with early support in a free and timely manner. The main objective is to support inclusive practice in schools; this is often through identifying barriers to learning for young people and through co-planning with schools to support young people to feel included and able to access their learning.

All referrals must now go through the Somerset Outreach Support referral form.

Once a referral has been completed, it will be triaged to your local team who will be in contact to discuss how outreach could support the young person, school or setting.  The Somerset outreach offer includes support from specialist settings across Somerset, as well as from the PRU outreach teams.
