Outreach & The Den
Outreach Support
For many pupils the least intrusive support is within their home ELC setting or school. CCC outreach staff can support in the child’s familiar setting amongst their peers to further develop social communication and interaction skills, emotional regulatory and support . Staff will offer advice and support to the staff within the child’s home school.
There are two models of outreach time allocations, standard and intense outreach. The ERG will recommend which model best suits, based on the needs of the child.
Outreach support is allocated in a number of ways, including:
• Working out with class with individual children
• Working out with class with a group of children
• Working in class team teaching (e.g. co-delivering Social Use of Language Programme)
• Working in class supporting child with targets.
