Working with schools
We believe that every child with emotional or behavioural difficulties, is entitled to, and should benefit from some form of therapeutic intervention at School.
Whilst children can go to centres or private therapists outside school hours; we feel that the best place for a child to receive therapy is at school, in a place where they feel safe and during times when they are not exhausted after a long day.
Providing therapy at school also provides the therapist with the opportunity to observe children at play or in class to see how they interact with other children and teachers. The therapist is then also available to meet with teachers, senco’s and parents to work together to support the child.
DBS

Supervision
All therapists are supervised by approved, experienced and qualified supervisors to ensure that your child receive the best therapy possible.
Confidentiality

Safeguarding
Any safeguarding issues are reported immediately to the child protection officer at each school and the therapist’s supervisors before any therapist leaves the school premises on the day of the disclosure.
