360° Outreach Project for Schools and Families Term 2
Our 360° Outreach project supports schools and families working together to build a picture of the “whole child” and better understand the child’s needs.
Our peer support team visit participating schools, running coffee support sessions where families are able to find out more about SGPC and the support that is available to them locally as well as connecting with other families within their own school community.
Both staff and families from the participating schools also have access to a series of online workshops. These workshops are run over Zoom and generally last around 1 hour 20 minutes. Each starts with an introduction to the topic from the trainer, and there’s always plenty of time to discuss any questions which come up on the day.
