Barnsley Education Inclusion Services
Who we are
We're a team of professionally trained psychologists, specialist teachers and practitioners. We work with children, young people and families in a wide range of contexts.
What we do
We give advice, training and support. We allow the special educational needs of children and young people to be understood and met.
We work within the graduated approach as outlined in the SEND code of practice. We help educational settings to identify and meet the needs of children and young people with SEN.
