Concerns about your child / young person's learning
If you have worries or concerns it is important that you speak to your child's place of learning....This may be:
an early years setting such as a nursery or a childminder,
a school
post-16 setting
Ensure that you talk to someone who is working with your child....Before speaking with them it is helpful for you to:
listen to what your child says
be aware of changes in their behaviour
keep a record of things that concern you
If an early years worker or teacher is concerned that your child is not making their expected progress, they will contact you.
