In North Somerset there are many services available to children with additional needs. If a child has additional needs which requires the support of two or more services, it is helpful if they can be discussed at MAISEY (multi-agency information and support in the early years).
Monthly MAISEY meetings ensure that the services and provision are looked at as a whole by the professionals involved and are coordinated around individual needs.
It is the place where one service can discuss the involvement of another service. Parents do not attend.
MAISEY supports provision planning from early identification of need until school entry, ensuring where possible that transfers to pre-school and school are successful for every child.
