Outside agencies provide extra support for our children. They are external professionals in schools who work within the local authority or the NHS and have specialist understanding in particular areas. Such agencies of education also offer support and advice on Special Educational Needs. After the student leaves school, outside agencies may be able to help a student get employed and get training services.
