The start of the new academic term marks the launch of the Social Emotional and Mental Health High Needs (SEMH HN) Pathway. The purpose of the pathway is to reduce risk of exclusions for children presenting with SEMH needs and has been adapted to anticipate the launch of the Emotionally Based School Avoidance pathway, due to be launched in October.

The work of the SEMH High Needs team is primarily to support the prevention of exclusion through early intervention and responsive support.

All forms to request support via this pathway can be found on the local offer page here.

Solihull Council and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have launched a new website about services and support available locally for children and young people aged 0-25 with SEND, and their families.

From social care, community health services and education to preparing for adulthood, social activities and employment, the ‘Solihull Local Offer’ provides a whole host of useful information about the wide range of services people can access and the support they are entitled to. For more information, please visit the website below.

Please register pupils on a part-time timetable by using the protocol and form located on the solgrid education part-time timetables page. The council requires a nil return at the end of every term.
