How do we work with academies and academy trusts?

We work onsite with academies and academy trusts to provide a consistent and flexible service. Through a service level agreement , academies and academy trusts have access to all of our services as well as EHP events. We work in partnership with education settings to provide the most appropriate services for your needs. Working together across an academy trust allows a consistent approach and shared access to resources and specialists. In addition to our onsite, bespoke services we also run regular CPD events throughout the year for education professionals.

Training

Our training is available on and off site for education settings and organisations in relation to health, psychology and education.

Where do our services take place?

Our services take place onsite within academies and academy trusts. Read about how we work with:

When would academies and academy trusts require input from EHP?

Academies and academy trusts could require input from EHP for a broad range of reasons. Examples of why academies and academy trusts would use our services include:

• Immediate access to a specialist education and health multidisciplinary team
• One place to access all services
• The use of a co-ordinated and high quality service
• Consistency in services and knowledge across a trust
• Requiring varied specialist input over a period of time
• Needing flexibility within SEND provision

EHP provides input to not only help children and young people to maximise their potential, but also to support schools in fulfilling their duties as stated in the SEND code of practice (2015).

Free initial discussion

We provide a free initial discussion as part of our cost effective service for education settings and organisations we have not previously worked with.
