Education and the education system is in crisis. We know this from both sides; as parents, and as educators. Whilst some are able to just ‘get on with it’, we know that some young people just can’t. Having consulted with mainstream schools, and utilising our own lived experience and professional experience in specialist settings, we have created this service to champion children and young people and to support them to thrive in their environments.
With a range of training and development courses available, alongside Mental Health and SEND consultancy and inclusion support, we enable and empower educators to support their neurodivergent children and young people, improving outcomes for all.
We feel passionately about supporting families and professionals also. We have extensive experience in mediation and advocacy to support the gap between home and school and help it to feel less daunting for all involved.
Whilst we are based in Cirencester, we are able to travel throughout Gloucestershire, Swindon, Wiltshire and parts of Oxfordshire.
