3 – TIS 2023: Working Collaboratively in Schools
It is a shared experience that schools are facing an ever-increasing number of situations they need to address.  Furthermore, a high number of cases are very complex in nature and therefore involve a number of professionals working together in order to address the different needs such cases present.  Schools, with the help of the SFCE professionals, carry out interventions not only with the learner but often support also the family.
