This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week and we are learning all about Neurodiversity throughout school. Why not ask your child about their understanding of neurodiversity?
What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week?
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.

South Tyneside Parent Carer Forum need your help gathering thoughts and experiences on Transitions!
Has your child or young person experienced a transition in the last 12 months? If so, we would love to hear from you!
Effective and successful transitions, from one setting to another and/or from one class to another are crucial to a child/young person’s learning and their wellbeing.
We often hear from parents about poorly handled transitions when information about prior learning or support is not shared at the right time to provide a smooth transition. We know this can have a significant impact on the child and their family.
STPCF are keen to find out about families’ experiences of transition arrangements in South Tyneside and identify what a good transition should look like.
Whilst your response will anonymous, we will share the findings from this survey with the Local Authority and other agencies, to help inform service improvement in this area.
As a special thank you for your valued time and input, please provide your email address at the end of the survey if you wish to be entered into a draw to win a £20, £30 or £50 voucher!
