Earlier intervention starts with access to specialist support

As local areas respond to SEND reform, the challenge is ensuring schools can access the specialist expertise needed to deliver earlier intervention in practice.

Experts at Hand is a Government-led approach designed to improve access to specialist SEND support within mainstream settings.

Momenta Connect helps local authorities and Multi-Academy Trusts deliver this through rapid, locally embedded access to multidisciplinary SEND expertise.
