The power of bullying is often in creating shame and secrecy. Breaking the silence is the most important step in overcoming it.

If everyone is educated to spot and understand what bullying is and to feel clear about the avenues of support available, bullying is less likely to become a crisis and far more likely to be nipped in the bud before long term harm is done.

Neurodiversity can affect people in different ways from childhood right through to adulthood. Here Sarah Nabarro shares her own experience of being Neurodivergent and being diagnosed with Dyspraxia aged 30.

The way we communicate and empathise with our little ones informs the way that our big ones will later choose – or choose not to – communicate with us.

Trauma is related to how children experience a situation, not necessarily how serious we think it is from the outside.

By helping children to understand the things they find difficult, we can arm them with coping strategies to successfully navigate their daily lives.

By creating safe spaces where children, teachers and parents can listen to each other, we can show young people that learning isn’t just about the curriculum and the classroom.

“Whilst I still have a tendency to blame myself for things that aren’t my fault, since my diagnosis, I’ve been able to show myself a little more compassion.”

By talking to children about mental health and neurodiversity we can help them understand and accept themselves for who they are, and give them the tools to ask for help when they need it.
