Hi all,
Please take a look through the latest ‘SEND An Update’ news letter which is packed with information regarding all things SEND.
Enjoy!
Hi Everyone
Please find attached the dates for the information meetings for the academic year 2022-23.
These programmes (EarlyBird, EarlyBird Plus and Teen Life) are for anyone who has a child under the age of 17 with a diagnosis of Autism who lives in South Tyneside or attends a South Tyneside school.
The team hold information sessions for the programmes so that families:
- understand the commitment involved in taking up one of our programmes
- can find out which programme would best suit their circumstances
- can ask any questions they have
- understand how to apply for a place on one of our programmes
Please note – families must attend an information meeting in order to apply for a place on a programme and be added to our waiting list
Dear Parents, Carers and Children,
With the summer break fast approaching, I would like to remind you that KOOTH, commissioned locally by South Tyneside Council to provide instant access to free and anonymous mental health support for all those 10 to 25 who live in South Tyneside, will still be running when schools close for the summer.
KOOTH can be accessed online via
or on Twitter

Take good care this summer.
