We are so pleased to announce that The National Lottery have agreed to fund us for the next 3 years! Meaning we can extend our support to many more families for free, and expand our Educational Psychology and Operations team! Thank you @TNLComFund#NationalLottery#funding#SEND

4/4 @greatmindsmcr
I will be writing to the Department for Education DfE to ask that they seriously consider an expansion of this programme to a whole SEND approach delivered in partnership with the NHS HEE.
3/4 @greatmindsmcr Their model is an addition to the system that pulls together all dept’s as well as concentrating on an increase in training for local authority teams, befrienders and school staff, whilst increasing education in SEND for graduates in teaching and social care!
2/4 @greatmindsmcr
This is a model I have previously supported as it focusses on the individual and helps the education, health and care system to work as it was originally intended!
1/4 I’ve been talking to @greatmindsmcr who have linked up with @nhs_hee to deliver the first national Peer Education model for Autism, providing wraparound support and upskilling the people around individual families.
Thank you to @greatmindsmcr nominated in the #SpiritofMcr20 Awards for all their work in response to the pandemic. #ManchesterKind

“You have to be loud, knowledgeable and resilient.The way families are treated is abominable,”. “By the time they get through to authorities,they will have been through hell on earth. The 2019 government SEN report summed up the situation-we are failing a generation of children.”
Our Autism Peer Education programme works with a small number of highly skilled partners and staff members in order to provide information for people across all walks of life.
