Keys Outreach
Schools can seek advice from their link SEMH teacher to support with SEMH needs in their setting. The Keys offer next step support through outreach to schools who may require additional support. This is a traded service and can be requested at any point throughout the academic year.
There are two options for keys outreach:
KSP Support
This support will be agreed through an initial planning meeting. The focus of the KSP work is to provide HLTA support that is bespoke to the needs of the pupil. This support will look to meet the needs of the child at their stage and circumstances and will rely on a play-based programme with outcomes and experiences agreed by the school, pupil and parents. Support can range from Activity Time, Walk and Story with Olive the Therapy Dog, Drawing and Talking Therapy and one to one support meeting the child where they are at. Alongside the support given to the child the HLTA will work with others in school to model and provide advice to support the needs of the pupil, as well as work with family members as part of a holistic approach to success.
Specialist Teacher Support
The Keys specialist teacher will begin the support with a planning meeting to discuss the individual needs of the school and the pupil with the most appropriate adult in school. During this planning meeting the needs and direction of the support will be identified and agreed. The specialist teacher will then plan and deliver the agreed support within a given timescale.
Support offered is pertinent and individual to the needs of the school and pupil and can range from staff training, observation and advice, risk assessments, Personal Handling Plans and working directly with the pupil.
