Our new look website is here.

We have seen the launch of the six month Neurodiversity Transformation Project (NTP) profiling pilot. The pilot will train 42 schools and 8 nurseries across BNSSG (11 schools and two Early Years settings from South Glos)

Updates from the parent carer engagement events in July 2024 to share the latest developments.

The PINS project is entering the second stage, find out how to get involved.

Forty primary schools across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire will be part of a new Project called “Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools” or PINS for short, 13 of these schools are in South Gloucestershire.

Using the information from last November's Discovery conference a data pack was shared with stakeholders to help support the discussions with a view to collectively create ideas to help solve the problems.

Members of our Parent Voice team joined with professionals from health services, schools and social care to explore neurodiversity services in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

As part of the first stage of the Neurodiversity Transformation Project, the Integrated Care Board (ICB) created a survey in order to further understand the current experiences and journey before and after assessment for parent carers, practitioners and professionals who are supporting children and young people with neurodivergent needs. This closed on 31st December 2023.

Thank you to all those who took part in our listening event. It was really a helpful event in which we heard from families at all different stages of their journey and received invaluable information which will be fed back in the Neurodiversity Transformation Project

The BNSSG ICB is currently undertaking a Neurodiversity Transformation project that will inform a future model to support children and young people with Neurodiverse needs. Incorporating the views and experience of children and young people, parent carers, and system partners is vital to the success of this project.

Today, the CEOs of ICB and Sirona Health and Care informed us that the autism assessment criteria will revert back to the process that was in place, before the changes that were announced on 1st March 2023.
