‘1-day Introduction to Person Centred Planning – “very powerful”

9/10 of our delegates rated the training as excellent or very good, particularly appreciating the ethos, creativity and interactive approach which was accessible to all. Comments described the PATH as “inspiring”, “very powerful” and “immensely beneficial for children”. Having this as a multi-agency training also allowed important opportunities for creating even stronger links between teams. Thoroughly recommend!’

Educational Psychologist, Academic Lecturer and Host of Agents of Hope Podcast

‘Colin was an extraordinary guest on the Agents of Hope podcast. His engaging style, insight and use of visuals was brilliant. I have to say that he has made me think differently about inclusion and has profoundly impacted my career. Thank you Colin!’

Werken aan sociale inclusie, auteur, spreker, trainer ongewone reisgids voor het gewone leven

‘I met Colin Newton at a Tash Conference in Boston.Colin inspired me and others enormously then and later in the way he brings people together from all walks of life. Often troubled people with disabilities and their families that are suffering from isolation, injustice, segregation and violation.Colin is able to bring young and old people together with and without disabilities or vulnerabilities and not alone share their needs, their talents and their contributions but also find solutions in making a better, more friendly, more social society. He is a charming and sensitive person and will always listen to what people need and have to offer in order to create positive change.He has been a keynote speaker and workshop leader on our Conference on “The Power of…” and his contributions were very positively received by the participants. I would recommend Colin to any family, any school and any organisation that fights isolation of people with disabilities. I also recommend him and his partner Derek Wilson as excellent keynote speakers and workshop leaders when the subject and advantages of networking are being explored.’

Dedicated and compassionate care professional with years of experience in the care sector

‘Inclusive Solutions helped me when I needed an independent Educational Psychologist report. We worked with the Educational Psychologist twice and both times she was warm, family friendly, easy to connect to, was able to communicate to a family of different ages, and very knowledgeable. At the time she saw us society would have considered us as people whom some professionals would shun or treat without respect, but she came into our home and treated us with respect and people of value. We are a family that had gone through a lot of trauma and life difficulties but she was sensitive and non judgemental unlike other professionals we saw at that time. Her approach was distinctive. The reports were done efficiently, to a high standard and included contemporary research and law. I would highly recommend Inclusive Solutions to anyone.

Secondary School Headteacher / Education Consultant at World of Enterprise

‘Colin’s skills as a consultant and trainer are immense. He helped me and my staff redesign our school along much more inclusive lines and left an indelible mark on all our organisation’s future conversations about inclusion. The first recommendation I received about Colin was “you must get him to come into your school” and I offer it to other heads unreservedly.’

Ex Chair of Governors / Adviser, CITIZENS ADVICE WANDSWORTH

‘Energetic, creative, imaginative, innovative, rigorous, high level of personal integrity, and guaranteed to create a sense of fun in all of his work: I could say more but I think you get the picture. I have known Colin for over 20 years and without doubt his passion for his work is the quality I aspire to. He creates a positive spirit that infects everyone within reaching distance. In summary, he is a leader in the field of inclusion, and a vital guide in challenging times.’
