Specialist Support

We will work on being able to support children and parents to identify specialist support providers when there are particular issues you may be dealing with. 

• www.snapherts.org.uk - offers a service to young people aged 3 to 19 years old, who have learning disabilities of varying severity which run during the Easter, Christmas and Summer school holidays in Dacorum, St. Albans/Harpenden and Welwyn Garden City/Hatfield Areas.
• www.thegrid.org.uk/leadership/caf/index.shtml - The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a key part of delivering frontline services that are integrated and focused around the needs of children and young people. The CAF is a standardised approach to conducting an assessment of a child's additional needs and deciding how those needs should be met. It can be used by practitioners across children's services in England.
