What specialist services are available at or accessed by the school?

At times it may be necessary to consult with outside agencies to receive more specialised expertise to help school as well as parents and carers to best support their child.  We will discuss any referral we are thinking about making with you first so you are fully aware of what is happening and what are concerns are.  You will have the opportunity to say what you think about our referral.
