• significant trauma, unmet needs, in crisis
• emotional, mental health with autism/ADHD
• emotional, mental health with significant behaviour (must have sought support from Behaviour Support Services)
• emotional, mental health needs with additional learning difficulties

In addition to 1:1 support, DSPL2 commission the NESSIe team to be a part of DSPL2 6/7 transition programme and DSPL2 solution circles each half-term.
