New free lunchtime webinar - Supporting family carer wellbeing by using mindfulness flexibly.

We know that family carers’ wellbeing is extremely important. But, for many family carers, looking after ourselves can feel like another impossible task to fit into an already busy day. In this webinar, we will explore the usefulness of mindfulness and how you can use techniques in a flexible way in your day-to-day lives to support your wellbeing.

This webinar is tailored to parents and carers of children with an intellectual or developmental disability. Professionals that work with families are welcome to attend if they’d like to understand more and share the learning with families.

16,000 children are now educated otherwise than in school.

That is a 38.8% rise in a single year and behind every number is a child whose individual needs cannot be appropriately supported in a school setting.

Families with children on EOTIS packages often face extraordinary challenges - many are living with severe anxiety, complex mental health needs or significant sensory differences.

Every child deserves legal protection, wherever they are educated.
