This will include the development of school workforce and leadership to ensure that mainstream schools offer capable environments in which autistic students can thrive, in particular, supporting good mental health and promoting inclusion for this group of young people. There will be a focus on ensuring that key transition points for autistic students are supported effectively, ensuring a positive experience in terms of change and moving forward”
PODS will be working with two Telford & Wrekin Schools – Dothill Primary and Charlton Secondary School to support this work and to establish school based participation groups, providing support and information and supporting dialogue with the school leadership team.
