Wishing Sir David Attenborough the happiest of birthdays. He has led the way in showing us all the beautiful planet we live on and the wonderful life that inhabits it.
Education about the natural world is essential and we are proud to share the message of the importance of conservation, action against climate change and pollution and the protection of wildlife with our young people - some of whom have recently achieved awards reflecting this learning 🙌🤩.
So, in honour of Sir David, and out of respect for the planet and all beings, let’s all do our best to keep educating future generations on this wonderful world and what we can do to help.

Sir David Attenborough celebrates his one hundredth birthday today. His career, spanning seven decades, has been transformative in the world of conservation and wildlife film-making. He continues to inspire current and future generations to take care of the natural world around them, a message that he highlighted this year in his most recent documentaries, Wild London and Secret Garden.

Did you know that Animal Assisted Services in the UK is not regulated?
This means there’s no specific legislation safeguarding practitioners, clients, or the animals supporting the work.

As the inclusion of animals in mental and physical health services grows, it’s vital to make informed choices.

If you’re thinking about a career in this area, or you want to find a service that works ethically and with high welfare standards, get in touch — at Creative Action Team CIC, we are happy to help you navigate your options with confidence.

At Creative Action Team CIC, we choose Animal Assisted Play Therapy (AAPT)™️ as our core model because it provides a rigorous, evidence‑informed framework that protects everyone involved — the child, the practitioner, and the animal. AAPT gives therapists, teachers, social workers, and allied professionals a clear, ethical, welfare‑centred foundation to work from. It ensures that the animal’s wellbeing is prioritised, the practitioner is competent and supported.

Today has started with celebration … it’s Certificate Day 🎉!

We are incredibly proud of our students who have achieved their AQA certificates this term. The range of subjects completed has been amazing - including topics from wildlife, history, art and horse care and many more individual interests and passions.

What makes these achievements even more special is the journey behind each one. Every certificate represents effort, confidence building and students discovering what they can do.

At our alternative provision, success looks different for every young person - and we celebrate all of it. Whether students are completing AQA units or working towards personal goals in other ways, every single student is achieving, growing, and most importantly… feeling happy and proud of themselves.

We couldn’t be prouder of the hard work, curiosity and determination shown every day.

Well done to all our incredible students - you inspire us constantly 🌟.

Obstacle courses and full body games like Twister, can be really beneficial especially when children work alongside dogs.
These activities build coordination, balance and body awareness while also encouraging problem-solving and focus.

When a dog is involved, children naturally develop communication skills, patience, and empathy as they guide and support their doggy partner through each challenge. It also boosts confidence for both for the child and the dog as they succeed together.

Most importantly, it keeps learning fun, active, and engaging, strengthening the bond between child and dog in a positive and rewarding way. A win for all with fun at the heart of everything. Everyone had a great time.

We see you day in, day out going above and beyond for your children to make sure they get everything they need. You are all amazing and we hope you are enjoying your day - whatever that looks like 💐.

To everyone who finds this day tough, whatever the reason, we hope you are able to be kind to yourself today and can reach out if you need support 🫂.

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day by looking back at where it all began.
Once we were little girls with big dreams, curiosity and imagination.

Those girls grew into the strong and determined women we are today - role models, leaders, mothers, advocates, therapists and teachers who support and care for others.

We’re proud of our journeys that shaped us and the strength, kindness and resilience from other women that connects and uplifts us all.

To all the girls we were, the women we’ve become and the next generation we help guide and empower 💪. Happy Women’s day to all the amazing women in our community and beyond 🙌.

Ps can you tell who is who?!
