Raw Learning Community CIC provides neurodivergent affirming, nature based education and support for children, young people and families who struggle to thrive in mainstream settings. During this financial year we delivered regular outdoor learning sessions, small group programmes, and individual support for neurodivergent children and young people, including those with autism, ADHD, PDA profiles and high levels of anxiety. Our sessions took place in woodland in Rochford, Essex, offering an alternative, low pressure educational space focused on play, relationship, sensory needs and emotional regulation rather than formal academic outcomes. Across the year we supported approximately 120 children and young people and 240 families through weekly programmes, holiday club sessions and events. Many participants were out of school, at risk of exclusion or on reduced timetables; our provision helped them maintain routines, build peer relationships and re engage with learning in a way that felt safe and manageable. Families reported reduced stress at home, improved confidence in understanding and supporting their child’s needs, and increased connection with other parents facing similar challenges. We also provided training, consultation and outreach to local preschools, professionals and community organisations to improve understanding of neurodivergence and trauma informed, outdoor practice. This included delivering training sessions on topics such as demand avoidant profiles, sensory processing and inclusive outdoor learning, and offering advice to professionals supporting children who attend our programmes. By sharing our specialist knowledge and modelling flexible, relationship first practice, we have contributed to more inclusive approaches across the local education and care system. Overall, our activities this year have benefited the community by offering a lifeline to families whose children do not fit traditional educational environments, reducing isolation for both children and parents, and building a local network of practitioners who understand and value neurodivergent ways of being. Our work has improved wellbeing, social connection and access to meaningful learning for a group who are often marginalised and under served in mainstream provision.
Who Raw Learning’s stakeholders are Our main stakeholders are the children and young people who attend Raw Learning and their parents and carers. We also recognise referring schools and local authority teams, our staff and volunteers, and partner organisations (such as local community groups and professionals who share our site or refer families) as key stakeholders. How you consult stakeholders? During the year we consulted stakeholders in several ways, appropriate to their needs and communication styles. This included: - Ongoing informal feedback in sessions from children and young people, using observation, check ins and child led planning to adapt activities. - Regular conversations, emails and review meetings with parents and carers to discuss what is working, any concerns, and ideas for change. - Feedback from schools and referrers through referral reviews, SEND meetings and follow up calls. - Staff and volunteer debriefs and supervision where practice issues and stakeholder feedback are shared and discussed. - Occasional online surveys / feedback forms for families and professionals, where appropriate, to gather more structured comments. - Grant feedback to funders is reported as requested. How you acted on feedback? In response to stakeholder feedback this year, the company has continued to: - Adjusted session structure and pacing to allow more flexibility for highly anxious and demand avoidant children (e.g. more choice based activities and quieter spaces). - Offered communication with families, including clearer information before children start and more regular updates during the term. - Adapted our booking and referral processes to be simpler for parents and schools and to better capture key sensory and regulatory needs. - Offered a new story telling website that addresses easy accessibility for families and professionals. - Offered additional guidance and signposting for families to local services where needs fall outside our provision. - Updated risk assessments and policies to reflect parent and staff feedback about safety, inclusion and accessibility on site.
