AIP Services

Your AIP provides a range of operational and strategic services that underpins SEMH (social emotional mental health) functions within schools and the city of Leeds. Our strategic support tends to focus on Fair Access Protocol (FAP) and local and citywide arrangements. We also attend a variety of monthly strategy and implementation meetings with the Local authority.
