Unit 1 – 3.4
T think it also covers this question
unit 2 – 4.2 Explain how institutions, agencies and services can affect children and young people’s development.

There are a lot of interventions that can promote a more positive outcome on a child/young person’s development. The importance on early intervention is vital in the child’s development to enable them to reach their full potential. Below is a list of the professionals that may be involved with a child who is not following the expected pattern of development.

Senco (special educational needs coordinator)
Senco is a member of staff in an education setting who is responsible for helping and advising other teachers on the best interventions for the particular child involved. Their role is to create an individual education plan for the child – a written document that confirms the child’s strengths and the areas of development identified that the child is having difficulty with, therefore needing extra support. This enables the child to progress in their development allowing them to reach their full potential. They can also be involved in training other teachers and providing support. Maintaining records of children with SEN (special educational needs) and keeping in touch with parents of that child/young person. They work with outside agencies including an educational psychologist and social services, conducting liaisons between any agencies and the child involved.

Salt (speech and language therapy)
Their role in bringing a positive outcome on a child or young person’s development would be treating a child/young person with a language and communication problems to enable them to communicate to the best of their ability. The therapist will assess speech, language, cognitive-communication along with oral/feeding and swallowing skills to identify the different types of communication problems. There are many different strategies the therapist may use to help with speech and language problems;
- Articulation therapy = sound production exercises where the therapist models the correct sound, syllables, mouth and tongue movements to assist the child in pronouncing words correctly.
- Language intervention activities = involves interacting with the child in play, through talking, use of books/ pictures or objects to stimulate language development. Repetition exercises are also used to build on their speech and language skills.
- Oral-motor, feeding and swallowing therapy = the use of oral exercises including massage and various tongue, mouth, lip and jaw exercises to strengthen the mouth muscles. The therapist may also work with different textures and temperatures of food to increase the child’s oral awareness whilst eating and swallowing.
Their main aim is to work on the child’s communication enabling the child to progress and develop to the best of their ability.

The Youth justice teams
The Youth justice teams overseas the youth justice system in England and Wales. Youth justice works to prevent offending and reoffending by children and young people under the age of 18 years old. They ensure that custody for that child is safe, secure and addresses the causes of their offending behaviour. The youth justice team may include probation officers working alongside social workers.

Psychiatrist
A psychiatrist is a doctor who is trained in mental health problems. They work alongside other professionals to help diagnose or support children and young people with mental health problems.

Education Psychologists’
Education Psychologists’ are professionals who support children who have behaviour or learning difficulties. Their role in promoting positive outcomes for children is to:-
- Work with the child who has difficulties with learning and/or behaviour or mental health issues to enhance the child’s overall learning.
- assist the teachers, in understanding the child’s psychological problem. Providing training for the teachers, Learning support assistants and other staff on all aspects of the child’s development, if needed.
- work alongside the parent and carers in helping them to resolve the child’s difficulties at home and in school i.e. victims of bullying, being the bully.
- To monitor the child’s progression and provide advice on any Special Educational needs the child may have, allowing for a plan of action to be put in place.
Intervention of the educational psychologist may be direct with the child through counselling using techniques to allow the child to open up about their fears, problems or difficulties. Indirect intervention is working with the school, parents and teachers. Teachers liaising with the psychologist could promote specialised lessons or classes to engage the child enabling them to open up about any problems they may have without feeling the pressure of one to one counselling.

Education welfare officer

• Conduct meetings with staff and parents to identify problems and help to find solutions.

• Encourage the pupil to make good and productive relationships with the school.
• Will give families advice on benefits and entitlements they should be receiving.
• Advising parents on their legal obligation and responsibility concerning their child/young person’s education.
• Welfare officers are responsible for writing up case notes, sending letters to parents and preparing court reports if a case comes to court.

Physiotherapist
The role of a Physiotherapist is to assess and work with children who have a movement disorder, illness or disability that means the child has little or no movement. Through providing physical intervention the Physiotherapist aims to help the child reach their full potential. When a Physiotherapist conducts an assessment they consider the individual child’s:
- Strength and coordination.
- Motor development.
- Posture and balance.
- Quality of movement.
- Function.
The assessment allows the Physiotherapist to decide on the best possible way of supporting the child. There is a variety of ways the child can be supported from offering training and support to parents, teachers and other care providers, providing specialised equipment, involvement with the child’s education and transitional planning as well as direct therapy.

A specialist nurse
A specialist nurse provides support for the family and child especially if that child suffers from medical conditions that need specialist care.
