- Deliver targeted intervention to families and professionals, as part of a multi
- disciplinary team, at points of change, challenge and transition, to support longer term resilience and the dialogue essential to the success of CYP educational placements and outcomes.

- Build and maintain effective links across Education, including SENDIASS and the SEND Innovation and Strategy team, to identify, implement and evaluate good One Planning practice, with appropriate input from families and the community.
