Wiltshire Council are seeking a provider to deliver our Portage Home Visiting Service, to improve the individual development, learning and wellbeing of children aged 0-5 years with additional/complex needs living in Wiltshire.

The service aims to

· Support parent carers to help enable their child(ren) with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to realise their potential.

· Support children and their families to be included within their mainstream provision within their local community where possible.

· Work closely with local authority teams and other organisations supporting early years children and their families to maximise efficiencies and reduce any possible duplication of work.

· Work with Wiltshire Council officers and other organisations to help ensure all early year’s staff from settings that seek your support feel confident that they can support a child with SEND to access and enjoy their early years setting.

· Empower parents to become independent in supporting their children’s educational, health and social needs.
