Take part in SEND home-school transport consultation

Haringey Council is proposing to up-date and revise its home-school transport policy. This will introduce a more detailed account of how we make decisions in the interests of transparency and to ensure our stakeholders are as informed as possible.

Most children and young people who require transport assistance to school will continue to benefit from the existing provision from Transport for London. We will continue to provide specialist assistance for children and young people with SEND or those whose family circumstances mean that they require additional support to access education.

The policy will also ensure that there is less confusion and misinformation in the community. Read more about the changes https://bit.ly/SENDHomeSchoolTransportConsultation
We would like to hear your views about these changes, please complete the consultation form below before Sunday 31 July 2022.

We are also hosting several events to discuss these changes, places can be booked through Eventbrite

The Gaming Connection – online youth club for autism support

The Gaming Connection is the Haringey Language and Autism Support team’s online youth club. The sessions give young people with an autism diagnosis and an interest in gaming, the opportunity to converse online with the idea of widening their social circle.

The club was set up to encourage young people aged 14-19 to comfortably discuss their special interests and to socialise while taking part in quizzes and open discussions via Microsoft Teams.

We ran the club throughout lockdown and found that the attendees engaged well due to the various methods of communication (chat, microphone and camera). We also included the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and incorporated a home exercise routine into our sessions – which was positively received.

If you have a student who would be interested in joining The Gaming Connection, please email john.chamberlain@haringey.gov.uk
