Today marks another year of my little business. Can't quite believe it's 9 years. I'm so lucky to be able to do what I love, knowing I'm making a difference. Straight back into work mode, delivering training on sensory interventions this afternoon. I still have some availability for my Busy Bodies intervention for this term. Get in touch to see how I can help children in your school.

Tell me you work in education, without telling me you work in education, and it's nearly the end of term. Wash day for some of my equipment!

New information from 6th July regarding how allergies are managed in schools.

New Government guidance for schools on Allergies has been published. It includes that pupils "should be encouraged to keep their ADs with them in their school bags and the setting should also stock “spare” ADs for use in an emergency: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/allergy-safety-in-schools

Lovely start to the day to be met with this little cutie coming into work this morning. I've seen the positive impact having a school dog can have, in lots of schools I've worked in.
