North East Lincolnshire Local Authority has commissioned InspirED Outreach to provide specialist support to children in Early Years and Key Stage 1. The InspirED Outreach team will work with educational settings to support children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 who either have an EHCP, or have been identified through the Early Years Inclusion Fund application process as requiring additional specialist outreach support in the area of communication and interaction or autism. Practitioners from InspirED Outreach will work directly alongside staff in settings to model strategies, demonstrate approaches and share resources. This ensures that support not only benefits the child but also strengthens staff knowledge and skills for future pupils, enhancing the graduated response to children with SEND.

Liz brings over twenty years of experience in primary education, specialising in Early Years, Key Stage 1 and SEND. With a strong background as an EYFS practitioner and SENDCo, she is deeply committed to early intervention, personalised learning, and ensuring that every child’s voice shapes their educational journey.

Liz's practice is grounded in nurturing strong relationships, understanding individual needs, and creating inclusive environments where children can thrive. She is passionate about empowering families and supporting colleagues through collaboration, modelling and sharing effective strategies.
