Services who support Children and Young People with SEND

There are a wide range of teams available across Tameside who can support settings/schools to meet the needs of children/young people with a wide range of SEND. Some of these services provide a universal support offer to settings/schools, some are traded and need to be ‘brought in’ by settings/school and some require settings/schools to follow a pathway or procedure in order for a referral to be made.
