How we work

Our dedicated practitioners are committed to securing positive outcomes for referred children, fielding a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills to augment the strong practice of behaviour support in Hampshire primary schools.

We work predominantly to provide an outreach service to mainstream primary schools, with the facility of inreach provision at a number of centres when a child needs our support away from their usual educational setting.

Our referral-based support service can be accessed through six regional teams.
