Gloucestershire County Council has launched a special educational needs outreach service, involving a pool of expert staff from across its schools.

The experts from the county's 12 special schools will be available to help colleagues from mainstream schools to assist with areas including assessments, observing a child in a classroom, planning interventions as well as teaching and staff development.

A council spokeswoman said: "We found there were pockets of good practice. This is about sharing that as well as encouraging more support across the service."
