We aim to ensure that young people with complex education and medical special needs, their families and carers will be better supported in the future. We will provide training and coaching to enable every young person and adult with complex needs to have a person centred plan that fully meets the aspirations of the family. Through individual specialist learning, behaviour and IT assessments we will offer interventions that will improve young peoples literacy, maths and communication skills. We will provide resources, training and access to information that will support young people and their families through life changing transitions from childhood to adulthood.
