Keyworkers
All young people are allocated a Keyworker, who acts as an advocate for them. They
manage a small case load, offer individual support and guidance, and report and record
progress in a variety of areas.
They liaise closely with parents/carers and other professionals (social workers/family support and the Youth
Offending Service) to achieve the maximum benefits of multi-agency working. Keyworkers work alongside
teaching staff and therapists to support the whole child. All young people and carers work towards outcomes
identified in the EHCP and a Positive Intervention Support Plan designed to identify specific strategies for
addressing areas such as health, communication, leisure and education needs etc. These needs are reviewed in
consultation with young people half termly.
