Sensory & Communication Support Service (SenCom)

SenCom are hosted by Torfaen County Borough Council and work regionally in Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire, Newport, and Torfaen with children and young people, families, schools, colleges and early year’s settings. The service work with children and young people who have a speech, language, communication need or who have a hearing, vision, or multi-sensory impairment.

The teams within SenCom provide a wide range of advice and intervention strategies including teaching. We are a person-centred organisation, and our levels of intervention are matched to the changing needs of individual children and young people.

The service work with children and young people who have a speech, language, communication need or who have a hearing, vision, or multi-sensory impairment. The service aims to enhance the educational opportunities of all children with sight loss from birth through to 19 years of age - in their home, play-group or school.
