Dear Friends,
We are very pleased to have secured some support to develop a Children for Health poster and story book on the broad topic of inclusion and what children can do to help and support children who might have extra challenges for example with their vision, their hearing, movement, cognition etc but also those children who feel excluded for other reasons too.
We are in the process of assembling a group of experts and practitioners to help review the ideas we have assembled.
If you would like to help with this project or find out more then please let us now. It is probably a minimum of one hour of your time in 4 x 15 minute chunks over a month or two.
With thanks
Clare Hanbury
