School & Community Teams

Since September 2023, teams have started working with children and young people, families, teachers, and services within Norfolk to ensure that support is provided for children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). By coordinating efforts with multiple stakeholders, these teams strive to support inclusive learning environments where children can thrive and reach their full potential.

The SCTs are an additional resource in Norfolk who can play a supportive role to the work you do with children and their families. This will help improve outcomes for children with SEND, ensuring they receive the early support they need to thrive in their setting and as they move into primary school.

The school and community teams offer support to education settings and families with a focus on inclusion, early help, and prevention. The teams work across Norfolk in 15 zones (geographical locations) that cover the whole of the county.  Each zone has a manager and a team of Education and Family Workers.
