On the 18th it will be Autistic Pride Day! This is a day to celebrate and embrace our differences and be proud to be you!


Visual Description
Slide 1 reads ‘Happy Autistic Pride day’, with the date 18th June. It is a blue page with rainbow infinity logo on it.
Slide 2 is another blue page with yellow, about ‘why is autistic pride important?’. It says Autistic Pride Day helps promote acceptance and understanding of autistic people.
• It recognises autism as a natural part of human diversity rather than something to be “fixed.”
• The day gives autistic people a chance to share their voices, experiences, and achievements.
• It encourages schools, workplaces, and communities to become more inclusive and accessible.
• It reminds people that respect, support, and acceptance should happen every day of the year.
Slide 3 is blue, orange and white, and reads ‘Celebrating neurodiversity’, Autistic people bring unique perspectives, creativity, talents, and strengths to communities. Celebrating neurodiversity means creating spaces where people feel safe being themselves, and reminds others that everyone deserves acceptance, inclusion, and support. This should be without the pressure to hide who you are! Acceptance matters. Inclusion matters. Autistic voices matter.

Guess what?
Since 2002, on every year on 12 of June, we celebrate The World Day Against Child Labour. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) launched this day to raise awareness and foster a global movement against child labour, which still affects an estimated 160 million children. The day emphasizes that poverty, lack of social protection, and inadequate education systems contribute to child labour, urging for policy change, education and economic support to protect children. It covers all forms of child labour, including hazardous work, modern slavery and exploitation. It brings together governments, employers, and labour organisations to highlight the plight of child labourers and promote action to eliminate it.

On what side of the page would you be in this?
Take a minute and reflect on that!



Image Description:

A page split in two by a dark green crack. On the top of the page we have a light blue rectangle with the title (“World Day Against Child Labour/12th of June 2026”) written inside of it. In the bottom right corner, we have Barnardo’s Greater Manchester Keyworker Service logos (a text saying ‘Barnardo’s. Changing childhood. Changing lives’ and a yellow circle with a green heart shaped padlock with a key surrounded by the text mentioned previously).
The left side of the page has a dark blue background with three pictures:
-the top one has a sad child sitting on a pile of logs and holding a hammer being crossed out by a red circle with a line going across it.
-the middle one has a yellow/orange background and shows a sad child carrying a heavy bowl of rocks on his head.
-the bottom one shows a barefoot child wearing a pair of black work pants and a yellow safety helmet. He is sitting next to a wheelbarrow and a pile of bricks with his forehead leaning against his knees. The background shows a construction site.
The right side of the page has a bright green background and one picture in the middle containing a child wearing a graduation gown and hat and holding a diploma. He is smiling and jumping with joy. There is confetti falling down on him.
