    Hi
    just wondering, if the school that I'm working in is not supported by the NBSS who could they be supported by?

    National behavioural support service. They help schools with behavioural issues. They would fund teachers in some schools specifically to deal with behaviour issues.
    They can also help on a whole school level. They would be involved with a lot of deis schools

    Maybe go through your learning support coordinator and ask about NEPS if they might be able to help.

    Have a look at the SESS site too for support HERE .

    Now in saying all that I don;t know if they would entertain ye if the students presenting with behavioural issues weren't down on file as having an SEN.

    Might be worth a try! But bare in mind the services are probably stretched to the limit for resources and time.

    Hey. Thanks for that.
    Yes my mission today on a class off is ask the learning support dept.
    I'm teaching 4kids in varying years who have been diagnosed with EBD and just would love some extra resources and strategies to help them.
