How STET works

The STET brings together SEND-trained mentors, consultant mentors and Educational Psychologists.

SEND-trained and experienced mentors work directly with children and young people in the home and in the community, delivering personalised support that focuses on engagement, regulation and learning readiness.

All mentoring is overseen by a STET consultant and an Educational Psychologist. Together, they coordinate the overall plan, ensure support is purposeful and aligned with identified needs, and maintain a coherent approach rather than separate or disconnected input.
