Company activities and impact

Sense inclusion C.I.C. is an independent, not for profit organisation offering a range of social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) services for children and young people including, play and creative therapies, alternative education and children’s coaching / personal development programmes. Children who access our services usually have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and our service are commissioned by schools / local authority to provide additional SEMH support within a child’s plan, to help them meet their educational outcomes. The Company benefits the local community by addressing a shortfall within the provision of these much-needed therapeutic and alternative educational services. The establishment and growth of this service is helping to meet the remarkably high demand for additional support for children with complex SEN and mental health needs on the Isle of Wight, who struggle to access traditional education. Our voluntary parent support service has benefitted parents of the children we work with as we are able to provide individual bespoke support to families to help meet outcomes for children. In addition, as a not-for-profit organisation, we are able to offer subsided fees to privately funded individuals who struggle with long NHS waiting lists, as well as providing fully funded additional social opportunities for the children we work with. Our current services include:Play Therapy service for schools – local schools can buy in a play therapist to provide support to children, in school, where they have SEMH difficulties which affect their ability to engage / progress in education.Play Therapy services for local authority – Play therapy sessions can be commissioned by the local authority for children who have experienced trauma, this can include looked after children, previously looked after children, children on special guardianship orders or children at risk of entering the care system. Children may have therapy at school, or at our centre in Ryde. Alternative Education service for schools / local authority – We provide social and emotional support sessions to children with complex SEN needs, with EHCP’s as part of their Education Other Than At School (EOTAS) timetables. This service is for children who cannot access school due to high anxiety, medical reasons, special educational needs that cannot be met in schools, challenging behaviours related to SEN or early life trauma’s. Sessions include emotional support targeted sessions, play therapy, sports / fitness session, sensory sessions, child-led project based work and social support including accessing the community and engaging in ‘fun child led’ activities and small group / social based activities where children can develop their social skills. We also collaborate with other professionals such as speech and language, occupational therapy and physiotherapy to deliver interventions based on their recommendations. Home Tutoring – We provide tutors to teach children within the home environment – this is again funded by the local authority or a referring school. Support for Home Educated Children – As with our alternative education service, parents who decide to electively home educate can access our services, although this is all privately funded by parents. Private Play Therapy – Parents may approach us directly to provide play therapy / emotional support for their children due to a range of reasons including difficulties in school, bereavement, bullying, anxiety etc. Our voluntary services include:Parent support – We offer parent support / coaching to the parents of the children we support to provide advice / guidance on accessing services, managing behaviours and signposting to other services etc. Social groups / social opportunities – We offer planned and fully funded social opportunities for the children and families we support (outside of school) such as supervised and supported social trips to local parks, beach meet ups, bowling etc.During the 2022-23 financial year, we have continued to grow and expand both our services, and team of staff, to help meet the growing demand for our services. We pride ourselves in building a team of highly skilled and qualified professions who are able to support some of the most complex and vulnerable children and young people in our community; including looked after and previously looked after children, children with complex SEN and, children who have experienced trauma and loss. We have continued to support children and young people to overcome a range of difficulties which affect their educational outcomes, relationships, confidence, self-esteem and behaviour. By offering enhanced levels of SEMH support as part of a bespoke education package, these children and young people are less likely to need to rely on statutory services, such as CAMHS, in the future, meaning we can help relieve pressure on the already stretched, statutory and community services. During this financial year, we have continued to invest in both our team of staff and premises, so we are able to continue to expand our service offer and support more children and families in the future. We have continued to invest in the development of our core staff through all staff completing children’s mental health training.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are our directors, employee’s, clients, and referrers. We hold regular directors meetings which focuses on strategy, growth, outcomes and compliance. We hold regular staff development and training days which focus on sharing best practice and service improvement. We actively encourage feedback from all our stakeholders both in person and through the use of online surveys. We communicate regularly with the local authority representatives and schools who commission our services, as well as providing comprehensive reports for all children we support, outlining the progress they have made and outcomes they have met since accessing our services, along with making recommendations on how their needs can be further supported.We keep in regular contact with both the parents and referrers attending meetings and providing written or verbal feedback on their progress. We regularly ask the children and young people we are supporting for feedback at the end of each session, along with a more formal end of year questionnaire which we support children to complete. We ask parents and refers to complete our end of year survey as this gives us the opportunity to seek their views on overall satisfaction, improvement in their child’s wellbeing / outcome monitoring. This gives us information on how we can develop our services in the future. The results of our survey are used to determine our future priorities. We were incredibly pleased with the results from this year’s survey which continues to be very positive. 100% of respondents were very satisfied with the service they had received and 100% of respondents stated they would recommend our services to others. Where applicable, 100% of respondents felt we offered good value for money.
