This session aims to bring together wellbeing staff from independent schools to collaboratively explore the tensions and opportunities in creating neurodiversity-affirming school environments, while operating within the realities of school policy, tradition, and compliance frameworks.
SESSION 3 GOAL: Focus on 2 specific strategy components:
Ensuring a Comprehensive All-Inclusive Student Profile
Inclusion and Diversity Policy
Neurodiversity-affirming practice is increasingly recognised as best practice in supporting student wellbeing, engagement, and inclusion. However, educators and wellbeing leaders often face systemic, cultural, or policy-based barriers to implementation, especially within independent school settings where expectations from leadership, parents, and governing bodies may not always align with inclusive or progressive models.
Who Should Attend
Principals or Heads of Campus
Heads of Wellbeing and Pastoral Care
