In Kent and Medway 40 schools have been chosen to take part in an innovative project to improve experiences for neurodivergent pupils in school.
The project, led by NHS Kent and Medway, Kent County Council (KCC) and Medway Council, will trial a new national programme called Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS).
Participating schools will have access to education and health specialists and the local parent carer forums to provide extra support for their workforce development programmes. This will enable schools to further develop their inclusive cultures and environments for neurodivergent children.
