The National Teaching and Advisory Service supports young people with an education and health care plan (EHCP). It promotes education inclusion for young people with SEND in mainstream and special schools. 

NT&AS qualified and experienced teachers work with young people to reduce the impact of their special need, ensuring inclusion and success both educationally and personally. Individual Teaching Plans are put in place to ensure progress and to identify the responsibilities of the young person and people ‘around the child’. NT&AS is able to carry out a range of assessments.
