Bramford and Somersham Federation works with our Local Authority, Suffolk County Council and a network of the schools that are in our local pyramid group. We also have partnership with a range of outside agencies to access further support and advice. These include:

·         CISS, an outreach service which provides support for children with behavioural difficulties

·         Integrated Team 0-11

·         Integrated Delivery Network (formerly CAMHS, Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services)

·         Dyslexia Outreach Service

·         Pupil Referral Units

·         Suffolk County Council Family Services

·         Sensory and Communication Advisory Teachers

·         SENDAT outreach service

·         Speech and Language Therapists (both SCC and NHS)

·         Educational Psychologists

·         School Nursing Team

·         Community Paediatrics

·         Occupational Therapists

·         Physiotherapists

Occasionally, it may become evident that mainstream schooling will not meet a child’s very specialised individual needs.  In this case, with the child and family at the heart of any decision, a referral may be made to a more specialist educational setting where the child’s needs can be met in a more focused and expert way.
