Management Information Sheet

S2S support (www.s2ssupport.co.uk) is an outreach service provided by the Norfolk Complex Needs Schools. The service was setup many years ago to give mainstream schools support and advice with the following aims:

• To offer relevant and practical support
• To empower all stakeholders to support pupils within their settings that require additional support
• To develop effective, sustainable practice across Norfolk

We offer:

• Hands on practical advice and support to help improve outcomes for pupils
• Visits to your setting by an experienced member of staff from a Complex Needs School
• Training, Observations, Resource Creation, Signposting and much more
• Formal records of visits/observations plus follow up visits and support.

For the past 4 years S2S Support has been a traded service available to mainstream schools and/or clusters who have purchased hours or cluster packages.

As part of the County Council’s continued investment into special educational needs support in Norfolk, the service will receive funding from Norfolk’s High Needs Block of the Dedicated Schools Grant to provide a subsidised service available to schools as part of Norfolk’s Local Offer of support.

How will this work in practice?

Between 1 April 2019 – 31 August 2019 the service will remain unaltered, with referrals made via www.s2ssupport.co.uk. There will be no requirement for schools to purchase hours via the SLA Online. Instead schools will be charged a one-off £100 engagement fee per referral. This will help the service to maximise the support available across the county. Current customers with remaining unused hours were written to earlier in the term with a reminder on how to use them.

We will communicate any updates through future MI sheets.
