Cornerstone Outreach
Offered by the YES Trust and provides specialist support and advice to mainstream primary and secondary schools in Shropshire. The service aims to advise, support and offer a range of training opportunities on interventions and strategies to help support children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs.
They observe pupils in their setting and offer a bespoke service to support and advise on staff strategies, devise an initial support programme, evaluate and establish next steps and produce a report containing suggested strategies. They also provide opportunities for staff to spend time in a special school for CPD.
Shropshire schools can complete a referral form outlining the reason for the request, and outreach workers will review the form and make contact. For individual pupil support, there's a maximum of two visits initially, working alongside the pupil, TA and teacher in the classroom. A record of strategies will be provided for the school. Initially, each school will be allocated two referrals.
If you're a parent and have concerns about your child, you should approach the behaviour lead, SENCO, or form tutor at your child’s school about making a referral to Cornerstone Outreach.
