Work collaboratively with school link staff, parents/carers, and multi-agency networks (such as local authority officers, health professionals, and support services).
Utilise standard tracking tools (e.g., return-to-school care plans and readiness checklists) to monitor wellbeing and educational progress.
Facilitate low-demand transitions from safe community venues (e.g., local libraries) to quiet, structured visits on school sites.
