JN Support helps schools and Local Authorities keep children in education through early intervention, effective inclusion and high-quality implementation of support — working with the whole system around the child, not just the child themselves.
Josh Newman
Founder, JN Support
Over 12 years across mainstream and SEMH education settings, helping schools, trusts and local authorities create greater clarity, consistency and confidence across behaviour, inclusion and operational systems.
Josh combines frontline experience with a structured, strategic approach — removing friction within systems, improving how information flows and how decisions are made, so good practice becomes easier to deliver consistently.
Areas of focus
Education systems are increasingly complex. Josh's work helps organisations create clarity within that complexity — so teams can work together, make confident decisions, and provide better support for pupils who need it most.
Practical support grounded in direct experience of SEMH, PRU and mainstream settings — aimed at keeping placements stable and children in education.
Early intervention for pupils at risk of suspension or permanent exclusion — acting on the first signs of risk, not after a placement has broken down.
Support for schools to implement and evidence the provision set out in EHCPs — turning plans into delivery, not just understanding what they say.
Independent reviews of why a placement is beginning to fail, with practical recommendations to stabilise it before it breaks down.
Working with the whole system around the child — school, family and professionals — to build inclusion, not just support the young person in isolation.
Professional guidance for schools and trusts on inclusion, behaviour and early intervention — strengthening consistency across staff teams.
Specialist understanding of approaches for young people with social, emotional and mental health needs across AP and mainstream settings.
Every engagement follows the same five steps, so schools and Local Authorities know exactly what they are getting and can see the difference it makes.
We spend time in the setting to understand the child, the context and what is really driving risk.
We review provision, plans and practice against what the child actually needs.
We set out clear, practical, deliverable steps — owned by the right people, with timescales.
We coach and model with staff so the plan is delivered consistently, not left on paper.
We come back, measure the difference and adjust — so progress is evidenced, not assumed.
