SUMMARY:Growing Hope - Accessibility Training
DESCRIPTION:This practical workshop will look at how to support children\, young people and adults with a range of needs. Additional needs can include anything which impacts upon participation in activity (physical\, learning\, mental health or undiagnosed needs). \nWe’ll focus on our sensory processing: \n\nhow we take in the world through our senses\nhow God speaks to us through these senses\nhow multisensory strategies enable our church communities and spaces to be accessible for everyone.\n\nGrowing Hope is a charity providing free therapy for children and young people with additional needs in partnership with local churches across the UK. \nTo book your place\, please click here. \nLed by: \nBarrie Voyce\, Senior Youth Connector \nBarrie leads the growing network of deanery youth connectors\, enabling and equipping effective youth ministry across the diocese. \n  \n  \nFaith Spinks\, from Growing Hope will be your facilitator for the evening. \nFaith works for Growing Hope as Accessibility Engagement Officer connecting with churches\, schools and other organisations\, providing accessibility training and awards. She is a qualified teacher with a BA (QTS) in education and has spent her career working with children and young people – as a teacher\, in-school student mentoring\, church children and youth work\, in the charity sector\, volunteering with foster kids\, and working in Brazil with children and young people living on the streets. This has included working with children with complex needs and trauma backgrounds both here in the UK and internationally. Faith is passionate about helping churches and schools understand accessibility better as a way to equip them to support parents and families better.
