Family Support

Take Part Wellbeing CIC works in close partnership with schools to deliver tailored family support and SEMH services that respond to the emotional, behavioural and relational needs of children and families. Our support is designed to sit below statutory threshold, helping schools intervene early, strengthen inclusion and prevent escalation.

We offer a flexible range of provision, including one-to-one family support, parent coaching, workshops and targeted SEMH interventions. Our work focuses on emotional regulation, resilience, positive relationships, mental health and key transition points, supporting both families and school staff to create consistent, supportive environments.

 

Our aim is to empower families, reduce barriers to learning and engagement, and support schools to achieve sustainable, positive change.

Education Outreach: How We Support Schools

Take Part Wellbeing CIC provides education outreach support for schools, specialising in SEMH interventions and family support. We work with primary and secondary schools to support children and young people who are experiencing emotional, behavioural or relational barriers to learning.

Our outreach offer is designed for pupils whose needs sit below statutory thresholds, but who are at risk of disengagement, persistent absence or exclusion without early support.

Who Our SEMH Support Is For

Our education outreach supports pupils who:

  • have social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs
  • display behaviour that impacts learning or engagement
  • experience anxiety, emotional distress or low confidence
  • require additional support to remain included in mainstream education

We also work with families who need practical guidance to strengthen routines, relationships and emotional regulation at home.

Our School-Based SEMH Interventions

1:1 SEMH Support for Pupils

We deliver targeted one-to-one SEMH interventions in schools, typically over a 6–12 week period. Sessions are delivered by a consistent practitioner to build trust, safety and emotional regulation.

Our SEMH interventions are:

  • trauma-informed and relational
  • play-based and developmentally appropriate
  • delivered in school or agreed community settings

Areas of support include:

  • emotional regulation and self-management
  • anxiety, avoidance and emotional overwhelm
  • confidence, resilience and self-esteem
  • engagement with routines, expectations and learning

Impact for pupils and schools:

  • improved emotional regulation
  • increased readiness to learn
  • reduced dysregulation and disruption
  • improved engagement and participation

Family Support and Parent Coaching

We recognise that sustainable change happens when home and school work together.

Our family support offer includes:

  • one-to-one parent and carer support
  • joint child–parent sessions where appropriate
  • practical strategies for behaviour, routines and emotional regulation
  • support to improve communication between home and school

Impact for schools:

  • increased parental confidence and engagement
  • more consistent approaches across settings
  • reduced escalation and repeated concerns

Working in Partnership with Schools

We work alongside school staff to ensure joined-up, inclusive support.

This includes:

  • liaison with SENDCos, DSLs, pastoral teams and teachers
  • alignment with the Graduated Response, SEMH and Early Help plans
  • clear feedback, review points and next-step recommendations

Our approach supports sustained improvement, not short-term fixes.

Our Approach to SEMH and Inclusion

We focus on understanding why behaviours happen, not just what they look like.

Our approach:

  • identifies emotional, environmental and motivational barriers to learning
  • uses evidence-informed behaviour change techniques
  • sets achievable goals that build confidence and success
  • is reviewed regularly and adapted as needs change

This supports long-term inclusion, wellbeing and engagement.

How Our Education Outreach Supports Schools

Our SEMH and family support helps schools to:

  • strengthen behaviour and attitudes
  • support pupils’ personal development
  • demonstrate inclusive leadership and early intervention
  • reduce pressure on pastoral and SEND capacity
  • prevent escalation to exclusion or specialist services

Commissioning SEMH and Family Support

Education outreach can be commissioned as:

  • individual pupil SEMH interventions
  • small-group or cohort support
  • block-funded SEMH and family support
  • part of Early Help or inclusion packages
