If your child has additional support needs or a disability that is identified at birth or during their early years, your health visitor or anyone working closely with you will contact the Early Years Multi-Agency Team (EYMAT). This involves education, health and social work services. They will work with you to look what you child needs and co-ordinate the help and services available. 


EYMAT can also give you advice on services, benefits and health-related information and look with you at the best options for your child at nursery school and school. 


South Lanarkshire also runs a Primary Inclusion and Wellbeing Service which supports pupils with social, emotional and behavioural needs. The service consists of 4 hubs: 


  • Glengowan Primary (Clydesdale Locality) 
  • St Ninians Primary (Hamilton locality) 
  • Castlefield Primary (East Kilbride locality) 
  • David Livingstone Primary (Cambuslang/Rutherglen locality). 

Each hub is managed by a Principal Teacher with the service overseen by a Headteacher and Depute. A range of supports is available; outreach support, enhanced placements (part-time) and intensive placements (full-time). Placements are allocated through the Inclusion Wellbeing Allocation Group (IWAG) which meets twice a year. 


The Education Inclusion team can be contacted on: educationinclusion@southlanarkshire.gov.uk, phone: 0303 123 1023
