LINKS TO OTHER AGENCIES
At Grange Moor Primary School, we have forged some very effective links in our multi-agency approach to working to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs. We access these through single service referral forms, or through the Single Assessment process when parents can decide to consent to a multi-agency approach to their child’s needs/family needs co-ordinated by the key working process.
Some of the agencies we regularly work with are:-
CAMHS
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services - This service can be accessed following referral from a medical professional (G.P./School Nurse). SENCOs can also refer to the service directly. With parental consent, CAMHS will work with us to support children, recommending strategies for staff to use in school.
ChEWS
ChEWS is the Tier 2 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service for children and young people in Kirklees. The Service provides short term targeted interventions to children and young people who are aged 5 to 19 and whose emotional needs are impacting on their day to day lives.

Hearing impaired Service/Visually Impaired Service
These services can be called upon to support children in educational settings who have hearing /visual impairments respectively. With consent, schools can refer to the service.
Children's Speech and Language Therapy - Locala
This service can be called upon to support children with speech, language or communication problems. With consent, schools can refer to the service. Some children are also referred via their GP or a School Nurse.
Educational Psychologists
The school is supported by an educational psychologist who works very closely with the SENCO. Following consent and referral, the educational psychologist assesses and supports individual pupils with special educational needs by providing parents and school staff with detailed reports and suggestions for actions based on identification of need. The educational psychologist is very important in contributing to statutory assessment/Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans.
Children's Occupational Therapy - Locala
This service receives a referral from a health professional or from a SENCO, with parental consent. They explore, assess and guide provision around various physical difficulties. Often a report to school will be followed by sessions with an assistant from the service.
Various other agencies can be accessed, according to need.
