Regional Partner with the Neuroinclusive Education Network (NEN)

The Communication and Autism Team is a regional partner with the NEN. The NEN are a not-for-profit organisation supporting the development of good autism practice since 2007. Their programme offers education professionals training, practical tools, and a wealth of free resources to better support autistic children and young people aged 0 to 25.

NEN materials are based on current research into autism and education conducted by the Autism Centre for Education and Research (ACER) at the University of Birmingham. ACER published their findings in their ‘Good Autism Practice Report’

CAT works with settings strategically using the NEN Eight Principles and the accompanying Autism Standards and Competency Frameworks to improve their provision for autistic children and young people.
