Focused on delivering high quality experiences for the child/young person, whose feedback has informed the development of our work over the last 12 years. Child’s voice at the centre of their intervention and the review process. Child-centred, adaptable, flexible ways of working in wide variety of settings and with a wide range of needs. Strong links with four Universities including Derby. We are Passionate about our work!

Why engage children in Decision-Making? Legal framework – International Law * CRC - Convention on the Rights of the Child Giving children a sense of agency (being listened to, taken seriously, being valued and experiencing ability to control, develop/ change views of adults) Person-Centred Planning – Putting children and families at the Centre * New (0-25) SEN Code of Practice in Schools
