Outreach

Hill Park Outreach & Inclusion Service

Hill Park has a dedicated team of Outreach Teachers who support children with additional needs in mainstream schools.

Our service operates two strands of outreach support SLD Outreach and Physical/Medical Outreach.

Pupils eligible for SLD Outreach must have an EHCP stating that they have a severe learning difficulty, this is often described as a "global developmental delay". This service specifically supports a large number of pupils with Down Syndrome, in close liaison with the specialist Speech and Language Therapists.

Pupils eligible for Physical/Medical Outreach must be seen by at least two therapy services, speech and language, physiotherapy and occupational therapy or one of the services could be that they are under a specialist hospital service, eg. Great Ormond Street Hospital, Evalina Children's Hospital.

Useful Information

The referral pack consists of four documents:

* Referral form for schools to request support from the Outreach Service, if they meet our criteria

* Partnership Plan is a service level agreement between the school and outreach service

* Parent Leaflet is for the school to give to a parent to inform them of involvement from the outreach service with their child

* Parent Protocol Leaflet is a document that can be adapted by the school to support an initial conversation with parents of a child with additional needs. It should guide a conversation so that the parents and the school can come to a shared understanding of what a school can offer and how expectations can be met to best meet the needs of the child.
