The support will be provided where it is needed, at the unit or through outreach visits to the setting. The staff at the EPU plan for and work towards the Early Learning Goals.
When a referral is made to the EPU a contact will be made within four weeks.

Feedback from the observation and the information gathered will be given and future needs assessed.
Depending on the child’s needs, any or all of the following may be offered:
Meetings to review the child’s progress and to set targets will be arranged.
Staff and / or parents may be invited to observe the child at the unit.
