Early Years Support Panel Referral

What is the Early Years Support Panel

The Early Years Support Panel is a multi-agency group of professionals who meets monthly. 

The panel accepts referrals from professionals involved in supporting a child, who may have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Each referral is reviewed, and support is provided where appropriate.

Who is the service for?

• children under 5 years old
• who live within the Wokingham Borough
• require additional help and support outside of universal services

Parental consent must be given before a referral is submitted to the panel.
