Inreach/Outreach
Primary Behaviour Partnership
DSPL9 have adopted a tiered approach to supporting social, emotional and behavioural needs in Primary Schools. The aim of this approach is to support schools, children and families with a focus on early intervention to ultimately reduce the number of children at significant risk of or who have been permanently excluded. For full details of this service, please visit The Acorn Centre website.
Chessbrook ESC
Chessbrook's Extended Roll provision is an umbrella term for a range of interventions that are offered to schools. Chessbrook prides itself on the delivery of this valuable provision and the impact that it has on the students. Within our offer, we follow a tiered approach which ensures the right support can be offered at the right time for those most in need.
South West Herts Partnership (SWHP)
South West Herts Partnership is a family focussed/needs-led partnership working alongside children and their families to ensure access to a wide range of early support with a non-judgemental friendly approach. Our ethos is underpinned by principles of choice, flexibility and respect.
Special School Outreach Service
Colnbrook Outreach
From September 2025, the Outreach service is changing. This change is designed to ensure that support is targeted more effectively and reaches those who need it most, at the right time.
The revised model will see Special School Outreach services focusing primarily on children and young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) who are currently placed in mainstream schools. We have heard from some schools about the challenges faced by some of the children who are currently waiting to transfer to a specialist provision or a special school. Therefore, from September 2025, we are prioritising allocation for SSO to those.
All new referrals to Special School Outreach services will now be made through the Single Service Request form and be considered through the usual triage process. This will allow us to assess each referral and the need of the child and allocate the most appropriate support, service, or intervention.
Any child or young person (without an EHCP) who requires support will likely receive support through other existing services such as SEND Special Advisory Service (SENDSAS), Primary Behaviour Partnership (PBP), Education Support Centres (ESC) etc.
