A tier 2 service available to our DSPL4 mainstream primary schools requesting support for referred pupils with managing their difficult behaviour.
Serving Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Goffs Oak, Hoddesdon, Turnford, Waltham Cross and Wormley.

We aim to provide short term intervention to facilitate long term change.
By providing early intervention for primary aged pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties and support for our colleagues in schools, we aim to reduce the need for fixed term and permanent exclusion.
