Details of our online consultation sessions are sent to schools each half term and can be found on the calendar on the home page. 

Our Sherwood Area Partnership schools have agreed to follow a graduated response to support children with SEMH needs: 

Staff in our partnership schools can access a consultation with a member of the team to discuss an individual child, a class or group of children or a general SEMH need. 

Online consultation sessions are held at least once a week - please see the calendar for details of upcoming dates and times we can offer a consultation. 

In order to access a consultation schools will need to complete the following documents: 

• a signed parent/carer consent form 
• a request for consultation form

During a consultation the SAP team may use following documents to support your discussion. It can be helpful if you have looked at these documents before the consultation. 

• Unpicking an incident document 
• School Level response checklist 

We are required to submit data about the children supported by the partnership. To gather data we use a Data and Impact Monitoring sheet. Please ensure you are able to answer the questions on the Data and Impact Monitoring sheet for a child you will be discussing during a consultation. This will include: 

-whether the child receives Free School Meals or Pupil Premium 

-whether the child is currently known or has been previously been known to social care services

-whether any other agencies have been or are currently supporting the child

-whether the child is allocated any additional special needs funding (AFN/HLN) 

whether the child has had a diagnosis of any medical needs
