Treloar's represented at disability forum

21 July 2011

Treloar's exhibited yesterday (Wednesday 20 July) at one of the district's best-known disability forums. The East Hampshire Disability Forum - set up more than 10 years ago - staged an event in Petersfield named "Frontline Services - surviving the age of austerity in East Hampshire". It aimed to highlight the experiences and issues of people with disabilities in the area, and offer information and advice on a range of topics. Outreach Services Director, Nigel Harvey-Whitten and Treloar's Direct Project Manager, Deborah King, attended to showcase the work that Treloar's - who run a School and College in Hampshire for young people with complex disabilities and learning difficulties - do in the wider community, including mobile multi-disciplinary assessments at schools and colleges throughout the area using the state-of-the-art Treloar's Direct Trailblazer vehicle. Nigel said: "This is a brilliant platform for us to inform disabled people in Hampshire about what Treloar's can do to help them. The day was a great experience for us, as we got to learn first hand about the issues faced by disabled people in the area as they shared their stories. It will help us to tailor our services to each individual who Treloar's assists, enabling them to live their life as independently as possible."

Ed Balls' welcome words on SEN

2 October 2009

We warmly welcome Ed Balls' recent statement on special educational needs. While much progress has been made, students with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities deserve better care and support in the wider community. The independent review into the supply of teachers trained to meet the needs of children with severe learning difficulties will help to improve standards and ensure best practice is shared across schools.
