External Agencies & Schools we work with

The Thanet Inclusion Support Service (TISS) includes Specialist Teachers and Outreach from Special Schools. TISS provides advice and training to support settings and schools in improving the outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. TISS is responsive and flexible to local needs through the opportunities for discussion and decision-making at the Local Inclusion Forum Team meetings (LIFT).

TISS support for children with SEND within this age range is carried out through visits to Day Nurseries and Pre-school provisions. Referrals are received via the EY Local Inclusion Forum Team (LIFT) Meeting.

Requests for intervention are made via the EY LIFT Meetings that are held every two weeks. Each setting has been allocated to an EY LIFT group that meets termly. The EY LIFT will allocate appropriate support.

TISS Services to Schools

The main route for schools to access SEND support is the District LIFT meetings. Support at the LIFT meeting is provided by a range of professionals.

Schools are required to attend the LIFT meetings to discuss a range of support, including schools supporting each other and sharing good practices.
