Why Our Service Works For MATs
We understand that Multi-Academy Trusts need scalable, consistent, and cost-effective solutions that can work across diverse school settings.
Our flexible service delivery models are designed with that in mind — allowing you to allocate therapy support strategically across the Trust while still delivering high-impact, evidence-based care.
Alongside this, your Trust can access expert speech and language knowledge at hand, helping schools identify needs earlier, build staff confidence and support positive outcomes for clients of all ages.
This aligns with the principles of the Government’s new Experts at Hand model, bringing specialist expertise closer to mainstream schools and supporting staff to build their confidence and capability.
How can we support you and your students?
Experts at Hand
Our therapists become an expert at hand for your schools, providing specialist advice, assessment, training and support.
Dedicated Therapist
We assign a therapist or therapy team to suit the level of need of your students and your unique budget.
Assessment
Your therapist helps identify pupils to prioritise, carries out in-depth assessment & provides reports.
Flexible Delivery
Our flexible package options allow your schools to receive exactly the support they require.
Effective Therapy
Our evidence based one-to-one and group intervention programmes help your pupils reach their potential.
Measurement
Your therapist measures each student’s progress, updates their targets and provides annual review reports.
Budget-Friendly Options
From comprehensive therapy provision to light-touch staff guidance, there are options for every budget.
Ongoing Support
Your therapist is on hand to support teaching staff & parents, providing advice and training whenever needed.
Our Multi-Academy Trust Packages
We offer three tiers of service that can be scaled across multiple schools and settings within a MAT, allowing you to tailor support to the needs of each setting. Our flexible packages enable Trusts to direct specialist expertise where it is most needed, making effective use of available SEND resources.
Note: Packages can be mixed across schools depending on need.
Our Gold package offers full clinical responsibility, regular direct therapy, and in-person expert at hand support, alongside in-depth assessments with detailed reports — ideal for MATs needing consistent provision across schools. It includes staff training, parent/teacher liaison, and annual reviews, ensuring measurable outcomes. It’s a scalable, all-inclusive solution for Trusts prioritising quality intervention.
Our Silver package is a cost-effective model with in-school staff delivering interventions under SaLT guidance. It includes initial assessments, one-page profiles, and therapist-designed programmes with termly reviews, alongside half-termly expert at hand support. Clinical responsibility is held only during assessment, with schools managing delivery. This option stretches budgets while building staff confidence and maintaining oversight.
Our Bronze package provides light-touch, flexible support for MATs seeking scalable staff training, consultation, and SLCN guidance across schools, with expert at hand support available as required throughout the academic year. With no named child work, support includes CPD, SaLT surgeries, virtual consultations, and online resources. Hours are purchased in blocks and used Trust-wide — a strategic option for capacity building without caseload management.
Our packages allow for flexible options to match your budget. Contact us for a tailored quote today.
