📣 White Paper info session for parent carers…

Would you like to understand more about the Government’s proposed changes to SEND support and what they could mean for your child or young person?

These sessions will:
✅ Explain what the consultation says
✅ Explore what it could mean for you and your family
✅ Look at how different groups may be affected

ℹ️ Please note: These are information-sharing events and are not part of the official consultation process.

Let us know below what development disabilities your child or your person has. Maybe be could tailor some training or workshops to raise awareness and support families ☺️

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.

This annual awareness month highlights the importance of recognising, understanding and including people with developmental disabilities in every part of society.

For families of disabled children, awareness months like this matter because they shine a light on lived experiences and reinforce the need for inclusive education, accessible services and communities where every child is valued.

Let’s use this month to listen, learn and advocate together 💚

Another great visual to support children after school.

If your child falls apart the moment they get home, hunger may be playing a much bigger role than you realise. Low blood sugar makes emotional regulation far harder — this visual explains why after-school hunger magnifies dysregulation, and what actually helps.

I have been in many a school lunch hall and seen children rush their food or not eat it all to know they must be hungry by 3/4pm.
