Early Years Partnership

The Partnership Aims

  • We know of every child under 5 who has or may have SEND in North Tyneside, thus ensuring that no child reaches Reception age without their needs being recognised and supported.
  • Ensure EY settings and schools continue to develop the expertise and confidence of their team in order to support children with SEND.
  • Every child is accepted and included into Early Years settings/schools.
  • High expectations will contribute to individual progress and outcomes for children with SEND.
  • Parents/carers will have a clear understanding of how their child's needs will be/are being supported and have access to a key professional to support the families needs.
  • Children will be well prepared for the next phase in their educational journey.
