In 2023 all DfE schools appointed an Autism Inclusion Teacher. As part of this initiative staff have been working with ‘Positive Partnerships’ to build their skills and knowledge of autism.
We now have the opportunity for parents, carers and family members of students with autism to attend a FREE 2 day workshop, facilitated by Positive Partnerships. The workshop will be held in Marion (venue TBC) on the 14th and 15th of June, 2023.
