What the plan could look like

The plan could involve a diverse range of agencies and organisations – from wider whānau, talk therapy, and Child, Youth and Family, to community sports and arts clubs.

Case studies of some examples

The plan could also include enrolment at a residential school for a period. However the priority is keeping the student in their family, local school, and community, or returning them to it as soon as possible.

The role of residential schools in IWS

The psychologist implements the plan, monitors and reviews it, and changes it if necessary. The plan focuses on practical actions. It ensures that any additional services and support are funded – like help and equipment in the classroom, or membership of community organisations.

How the service is funded, and for how long

Students receive support for up to 3 years. The Ministry funds IWS staff and initiatives for up to 2 years. Then the local services continue to provide support as discussed by a psychologist when developing the plan.
