Early Years Inclusion Service

The Early Years Inclusion Service is part of the wider Inclusion Service and works towards enabling children aged 3 months to five years to meet their potential.

The Early Years Inclusion Service has two strands:

• Portage
  
• Early Years Inclusion Advisory Service

Both teams work closely with children who have a delay in two or more areas of development. We work in partnership with families and education settings, including providers offering home education.   We offer support with transitions, training for early years practitioners and can arrange site visits to settings (childminders, nurseries, and primary schools) who welcome children with additional needs.

Written parental consent must be obtained before any discussion regarding concerns about a specific child. However general advice may be sought.

Please call or email the service for more information.
