Situation
After the lockdowns, staff and parents of pupils attending special schools reported poorer pupil wellbeing, particularly greater anxiety and deterioration in social skills. Although for many, life has reverted closely back to normal, disabled children, young people and their families are still facing these pressures. Many have struggled to integrate back into society, feel disconnected from friends and now the cost of living crisis is adding to their anxiety and worries.
Solution
KIDS will address the practical and emotional needs of families with disabled children who are still struggling, to make sure they don't feel left behind. By building a wellbeing program that follows the NHS 5 steps to wellbeing model we will focus on individual needs and deliver real outcomes to help give them practical advice & tools to cope with what is, for some, an incredibly difficult time.
