Let’s Connect – Breaking down barriers to learning

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.

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.

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.

Children should be protected from feeling that their mental health or neurodiversity means that their life is limited, or has less value.
