Portage Service

4 February 2026

 

Portage is a home-visiting service designed to support children aged 0 to 4 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) learn, play, and develop new skills.

Trained Portage Home Visitors work directly with families, offering gentle guidance, playful activities, and practical strategies that fit naturally into everyday life. Their goal is to help children take small but meaningful steps forward, while empowering families to feel confident and supported along the way.

Families who have accessed Portage shared their experience.

“We felt heard and what we wanted for our child mattered. My child has grown in confidence and developed new skills. Portage has supported the whole family not just my child”
