Year 6 Peer Mediators all completed their training today with flying colours! 6 sessions – now they are off to do the real thing! This was rich peer support training and we have now created a powerful peer support training programme well worthy of sharing with others! The benefits to inclusive education and even to autism inclusion in mainstream schools cannot be underestimated.
Colin Newton describes his positive experience this week of setting up a Circle around a young man with Downs in year 11 of a mainstream school.
