Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools – Update
Year 2 of the PINS project is underway, we are working with schools across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire to improve inclusion and support for neurodivergent children.
Help: Finding Your Way – written by a parent carer
“Finding Your Way” offers comfort, connection, and solidarity to those just beginning the journey of complex medical needs and provides a valuable window into lived experience for practitioners.
Case Study: Working together for change
This case study shows how working in partnership with parent carers helped rebuild trust, improve relationships, and influence how SEND services are shaped, developed and delivered
Case Study: When school isn’t working
This case study shows how parent carers can be supported when a child or young person is out of school or struggling to attend a setting that isn’t working well for them.
Case Study: SEND and Inclusion Strategy
Parent carers helped shape Bristol’s SEND and Inclusion Strategy by sharing their experiences through surveys, events and conversations, directly influencing the priorities and focus of the strategy.
