We also work extensively with voluntary and other groups that are working towards increasing inclusion in community settings.

to Colin and Derek's presentation, their ideas
and the way they present them are amazing'

Open Events





All our training is guided by the following principles:

  • Inclusion is non-negotiable and “ALL MEANS ALL” – these are not “Tips for Teachers” days. We are not interested in passing on techniques without also making explicit the values that need to underpin them. Anything else is just unsafe and risks becoming another thing we ‘do to’ young people
  • Building Relationships lies at the heart of developing inclusive practice, all of our training is about encouraging connection especially in difficult situations – those where imaginative responses are needed
  • Inclusion is more than one person’s work – strong and effective teams with a shared vision are key to delivering new ways of working and they know that “Together We’re Better”
  • We want people who attend our training to leave the day with some immediate changes to their practice in mind. Not just ‘good intentions’.  It’s the little things (and enough of them) we do differently tomorrow that will make a difference.
  • We want people to leave with their eye on the ‘Long View’ – with a stronger sense of what they would love to see happening in their work in 10 or 20 years time

Circles of Adults

Teams Reflecting and Problem Solving Around Emotional Needs and Challenging Behaviour

We are now seeking a host organisation who would like to collaborate in hosting a further series of coaching sessions in 2010/11. Let us know if your team are interested.

circle of adults
These 10 monthly sessions will model an in-depth problem solving process for use by teams working around the inclusion of a challenging individual. Using both process and graphic facilitation the group is guided through a set of key questions to reach a shared and deeper understanding of the young person's challenging behaviours, unmet emotional needs and to develop fresh strategies to support change. Participants will be expected to develop facilitation skills as well as to bring the stories of the most challenging young people they are involved with to the group sessions as the problem presenter in the Circles of Adults process.

Participants will receive direct feedback and supportive coaching as they learn the process skills involved.
By the end of the 10 sessions participants will feel able to lead the process within their own work settings. Read more about Circles of Adults here...

Past Events


Day Zero

Inclusion Day, May 2009

700 pupils and full staff team worked with us at Whitton School - a large Richmond high school.Great strategic work made possible by the imaginative Head of The Whitton Gateway (which is the borough centre for inclusion of students on the autistic spectrum)
Sarah Bright and her Senior Management team. Extremely well received by all involved! 'The general feedback has been excellent and it is set to become an annual event in some form. Robert, who is visually impaired, said it was the very best day he has had at Whitton. We set up a Circle of Friends around him this morning, which also made he really happy.'
