There are nine SEMH SRBs located across Norfolk which provide high quality individualised support for children that are experiencing difficulties accessing a mainstream school environment.

The centres provide an enriched learning environment that engages the children whilst supporting them to gain self-confidence and build their self-esteem.

The Family Learning Support Assistant is part of the SRB central team.

The purpose of these roles is to offer emotional and practical support to parents and carers to develop resilience and engagement in their child's learning and placement at the centre.

The Family Learning Team will establish and maintain relationships with parents and carers, this will be achieved via regular contact across the week with families.
