Swift and easy access
Swift and easy access (SEA) is underpinned by preventative work, through other elements of the core offer, and the wider curriculum. Where problems emerge, SEA ensures the early identification of, and support for, a wide range of difficulties children and young people can face.
SEA involves schools working closely with statutory agencies and the voluntary and community sector to identify children and young people with emotional, behavioral, health or other difficulties as early as possible. The school and partnering agencies can then form a "team around the child", planning and delivering a package of ongoing support designed to overcome barriers to learning and enable the child or young person to achieve their full potential.
That support package could include:
- speech and language therapy
- child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)
- family support services
- intensive behaviour support
- counselling
- sexual health services
