The Children’s Integrated Speech and Language Therapy Service for Hackney and The City is a provider service. All primary schools maintained by Hackney Learning Trust receive a core offer. Most schools also choose to commission further services from us. This includes the majority of Hackney secondary schools, academies, colleges and Pupil Referral Units.
The service operates a link therapist model. This means that a Speech and Language Therapist comes into your school regularly getting to know your school and the children. The amount varies according to the size, needs and the traded services commission.
For Hackney and The City schools and for those from outside the borough who commission there are details of the referral process as well as lots of resources in the secure area on this website. Your school SENCO will have details of the processes as well as being able to access the secure area. Please discuss all referrals with your school’s SENCO.
