This week is #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek What does neurodiversity mean? Staff and students at Venn Venn Boulevard Centre and The Sullivan Centre explain. They show us how with acceptance and support, neurodivergent children and young people make progress and grow in confidence.

Amazing to see Qualifying Care Relief for UK foster carers being increased to £18,140 in the #SpringBudget! QCR tax relief levels have not increased since it's introduction in 2003 and we have been calling for increases for many years to help support foster carers🧡
