The SEND Team includes Specialist Health Visitor, Specialist School Nurses and Public Health Associates. If you and your family find you are having significant difficulties, for example your child has a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) or a medical condition you will receive specialist support from our SEND Team within the 0-19 Service.  

They can offer advice and support, carry out health and development checks and signpost to other services as necessary. They are able to provide a more holistic and intensive package of care to support you and your child.
