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 is commissioned by schools / local authority to provide additional SEMH support within a child’s plan, to help them meet their educational outcomes. We offer children’s therapies and emotional support to privately funded individuals to the same level as we do for state funded individuals. Our current services include: Play and Creative Therapies / Emotional support. Alternative Educational Provision – focused on meeting sensory, physical and social, emotional and mental health needs. Support and provision for Home Educated Children Parent support (voluntary) Over the past 12 months, the company has continued to benefit the local community through: Offering subsided fees for children’s therapies and emotional support to parents who are privately funding their child’s needs due to difficulties accessing statutory services because of ineligibility or long NHS waiting lists. Providing fully funded additional social opportunities for the children we work with. Continued growth of the service, service offer and staff team to help meet local demand and address the local shortfall in provision for specialist support for children and young people with complex SEND and SEMH needs. Investing in the training and development of our staff team to ensure we are well equipped and have the necessary skills and knowledge to support the vulnerable children and young people we support. We recognise that the parents of the children we work with need additional support as they navigate the challenges that come with parenting children with additional needs. We have therefore continued to provide a much needed, additional, voluntary parent support service to the parents of the children we support to provide advice / guidance on accessing services, managing behaviours and signposting to other services. In addition, over the past 12 months we have attended local parent support groups and events to offer specialist support and advice. During the 2023-24 financial year, we have continued to grow and expand our services and staff team, to help meet the growing demand for our services. We have built and trained a team of highly skilled and qualified professionals who are able to support 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 an enhanced level 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 staff team and premises, so we are able to continue to expand our service offer and support more children and families in the future. We have taken on 2 additional members of staff as well as increasing the working hours for existing employees. This year, our employees have completed training in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy as well Sensory fitness coaching, safeguarding and Buzz model training (building underdeveloped sensory motor systems in traumatised children) in preparation for Sense Inclusion becoming a ASF (Adoption Support Fund) in the coming months. We are committed to using any profits to enhance and grow our service offering. We are actively looking for new, larger premises to enable us to develop our service offering further and take on additional staff, so we can support more children and help meet local demand for specialist SEMH support.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are our directors, employee’s, clients, and referrers. We continue to hold regular director’s meetings which focus on strategy, growth, outcomes and compliance. In addition, we hold regular staff development and training days which focus on sharing best practice and service improvement. We continue to encourage feedback from all our stakeholders both in person and using online surveys, communicating regularly with the local authority and schools who commission our services. We provide comprehensive reports for all children we support, outlining the progress they have made, along with recommendations on how their needs can be further supported. Parents and refers are asked to complete our end of year survey which gives us the opportunity to seek views on overall satisfaction, improvement in their child’s wellbeing / outcome monitoring. The findings from our surveys are used to outline future priorities on how we can develop and possibly improve our services. We were incredibly pleased again with the results from this year’s survey, for the second year running 100% of respondents were very satisfied with the service they had received and 100% of respondents stated they would recommend our services to others. Effective communication is especially important to us and we keep in regular contact with both the parents and refers attending meetings and providing written / 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 encourage children to complete. Representatives from Sense Inclusion attend community events locally which focus on Special Educational Needs, Disabilities and Post Adoption support groups.
