Greenfield School has developed an Outreach Service to support Learning Resource Bases within the Local Authority of Merthyr Tydfil.

The overall aim of the service is to upskill staff, thus enabling them to provide the pupils within the provisions with an enriching, positive and person-centred education experience. The Outreach Service aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of the staff by embedding Positive Behaviour Support values, through a Person Centred Practice approach.

The nature of the Outreach support will vary according to the needs of the pupils, the staff and the schools. It may incorporate a number of elements including: advice; consultation; training; joint planning and assessment and modelling of techniques and strategies. This is achieved by:

• Providing accredited training
• School to school work
• Collaborating and sharing good practice
• Facilitating inclusion projects

The Outreach Service is committed to supporting colleagues to meet the needs of their pupils in a collaborative partnership.
