We are delighted to announce our first Neuro-Inclusion Network meeting on Thursday 26th March on Zoom. This session is open to all staff and volunteers of charitable groups and statutory organisations in Cheshire East. See agenda attachment at bottom of this page.
Building on the great interest and engagement from our Neurodivergence in the Voluntary Sector training, we aim to create a space where you can share your lived experience, learn strategies for being more neuro-inclusive, and explore practical ways to overcome barriers in your role.
Whether your group works directly with neurodivergent* individuals or if you are looking to learn more about neurodiversity to better support your team and service users, this network is here to help.
CVS Role
CVS will act as facilitator and organiser of the network, but we want it to be an open space for sharing knowledge. Your attendance and input are essential, whether you have specialist experience in neurodivergence or if you’re new to the area and want to learn more.
Guest Speaker
We’re pleased to welcome Ana Fay, Talk2Ana, as guest speaker. Ana is an autistic therapist and SEND teacher with over 14 years experience. She is also the mother of two neurodiverse children. She combines professional expertise with lived experience to support individuals and families.
Network Schedule
The first network will be online to assess interest and gain insight to shape future networks, followed by an in-person meeting building on the discussion and themes identified.
