MAM CARE SERVICES LTD
SEND & Accessing Education, Support
Health and care support within education settings.
We provide specialist health and care support for children and young people with additional needs within education settings. We do not deliver education or teaching; instead, we work alongside schools and PT's to support children’s health, wellbeing, and ability to access learning safely and comfortably
List Title
Within Education Setting
Our carers support children in a range of education environments including
-
Mainstream Schools
-
Specialist and SEND Schools
-
Alternative Education Provisions
We work under the guidance of the education provider, following the direction of teachers, teaching assistants, and SENCOs, while ensuring the child’s health, care, and wellbeing needs are met throughout the school day.
Partnership with Schools & Families
We work collaboratively with:
-
Families
-
Schools and education providers
-
SENCOs and teaching staff
-
Health and therapy professionals
This ensures care support aligns with the child’s wider education and care plans, including EHCPs, while respecting the role and responsibilities of education staff.
Sensory Support at Home
In addition to education-based support, we provide sensory support within the home environment, helping children feel regulated, engaged, and supported in their everyday routines.This includes:
-
Designing individual sensory and play plans tailored to the child
-
Supporting therapeutic programmes recommended by professionals
-
Using play to support regulation, communication, and engagement
Our approach is guided by professional input and focuses on enhancing the child’s experience, not over-medicalising their daily life.
Safe, Skilled & Consistent Support
Before support begins, we complete a comprehensive assessment and develop a child-specific care and support plan in collaboration with families, schools, and healthcare professionals. Our carers receive individualised training relevant to the child’s health and sensory needs and must demonstrate competency before working independently in education settings.
Ongoing clinical oversight ensures care remains safe, consistent, and appropriate within the school environment.
How we Support
Our role focuses on care, health, and wellbeing, enabling children to engage with education safely. Support may include:
-
One-to-one health and care support in the classroom
-
Support with sensory regulation and emotional wellbeing
-
Assistance with behaviour regulation in line with school strategies
-
Clinical care where required within the education setting
-
Supporting engagement and participation as directed by teaching staff

CYP Lead
We get to know our children and young adults personally to know exactly what stimulates and enriches their development and wellbeing.
We follow their lead and ensure they are heard and not just seen.
OUR SEND LEAD
Our Education and SEND support is led by a highly experienced clinical lead with extensive experience delivering health and care support within education settings. She has worked for many years as a Designated SEND Officer (DSO), giving her a strong understanding of SEND systems, multi-agency working, and the responsibilities of education providers. She also has experience contributing to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and works closely and effectively with schools and EOTAS packages, ensuring care support aligns appropriately with educational provision.At MAM Care, we are passionate about ensuring children and young people are supported to access appropriate education in a way that meets their individual needs. We believe care extends beyond medical and physical support — it includes sensory play, engagement, and meaningful experiences that promote development and wellbeing. Every child has the right to play, and we recognise play as a vital part of caring for children, supporting learning, regulation, and quality of life.
Some sunshine and Vitamin D.
This is great for my wellbeing. I love being out in the sunshine. Let's be honest, who doesn't?
I just picked some flowers for my mummy, on the way home from the park. i may be tired, but that just proves how much fun I had!
