We work with children and young people with Down Syndrome and complex learning needs from when they start reception until the end of Year 11 at a mainstream school. This includes children and young people with a wide range of needs and significant difficulties in cognition and learning which impact on all areas of the curriculum.
We offer support to individual schools on a no-names basis via our monthly Drop-in meeting. Booking is via Oxfordshire | Education Services
As part of our referral process, we ask settings to attend our online Bitesize Training and complete a self-evaluation Good Practice checklist alongside completing the referral form. Bitesize training can be booked via Oxfordshire Education Services
To contact the Down Syndrome and Complex Needs team about a referral, please contact senss@oxfordshire.gov.uk.
For children in the early years, we accept referrals through the Single Point Of Request For Involvement (SPORFI). Complete the SPORFI form (docx format, 110Kb) to make a request.
