FREE packs for special schools on supporting siblings
Do you work in a special school?
You can make a difference to your pupils with a disability, neurodiversity or long-term condition – by supporting and improving the lives of their siblings. It is often a sibling who will have the longest standing relationship with a disabled child and supporting that relationship at an early age can make all the difference in improving outcomes in adulthood.
We have created a ready-made, easy-to-use information and intervention pack specifically crafted to help you support siblings of disabled children to thrive alongside their brother or sister.
What does the pack include?
This pack includes:
- An information leaflet about our services that you can share with parents and siblings, empowering them to access our support when they need it. Keep copies available in your pastoral care offices and display them on noticeboards too.
- Key tips and advice for staff – 10 small but hugely impactful actions you can take that don’t require extra funding or lots of resources to carry out.
- Information about Sibs Talk, our one-to-one support intervention for pupils in Key Stage 2, evaluated by the University of Warwick. This powerful tool gives young siblings a voice, teaches them strategies for coping with difficult situations and enables schools to make positive changes that enhance siblings’ lives.
- Bitesize tips for parents, by parents, that are manageable and realistic.
