In part two of Ben's conversation with Dr Luke Beardon, they move from language and identity into the systems shaping autistic lives - classrooms, healthcare, and even the criminal justice system.

With over 30 years' experience in autism education, Luke breaks down why inclusivity isn't a "nice extra" but the foundation of genuine support, and why a one-size-fits-all approach consistently fails autistic people.

Luke shares his top three tips for supporting neurodivergent children in school, explores how the UK's autism training compares globally, and offers a candid look at how medical and justice systems misunderstand autistic communication and behaviour.

This episode reframes what meaningful inclusion really looks like. If you've ever felt misunderstood, misinterpreted, or pushed to fit into systems that don't fit you or your brain, this conversation will help you make sense of it and remind you that the problem was never you.

Deafblindness is sight and hearing loss that impacts your communication, mobility and ability to access information. It affects different people in different ways.

The most common cause of deafblindness is age, as we get older our sight and hearing deteriorate. Certain conditions such as Usher Syndrome also cause sight and hearing loss.

Deafblindness affects everyone in different ways. Some people might have mild sight and hearing loss whereas others can't see or hear anything.

The Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF) is a Government funded programme that provides free holiday clubs for reception to year 11 pupils in receipt of benefits-related free school meals in Lincolnshire over the summer, Christmas and Easter holidays.

Benefits related free school meals are different to Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM). Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive UIFSM in government funded schools.

The HAF programme is designed to ensure a high-quality experience for children that will result in receiving healthy and nutritious meals and maintaining a healthy level of physical activity.

Children who attend HAF develop a greater understanding of food, nutrition and other health-related issues and have the opportunity to take part in fun and engaging activities.

Children and young people attending a HAF club will also have the opportunity to have fun, meet new friends, socialise, learn new skills, encounter new experiences and gain confidence whilst enjoying happy, healthy holidays.

Eligibility

School aged children from reception to Year 11 in receipt of benefits related free school meals in Lincolnshire, have priority in accessing government funded HAF clubs for free.

If you are unsure whether you are eligible, please apply for free school meals.

Easter delivery dates

The next HAF delivery will take place during the Easter holidays from Monday 7 to Tuesday 22 April 2025 (excluding bank holidays and weekends).

key:

Green = Primary

Red = Secondary

Blue = Primary and Secondary

Yellow = SEND only

How to book a place

Easter bookings will open on Tuesday 18 March.

To book on to a club, you will require a HAF Evoucher, which your school will provide. Your HAF Evoucher will include a link that you can click on to take you to the booking site.

The booking site lists all Lincolnshire HAF clubs. You can narrow your search by postcode to your most local clubs.

Please get in touch with your child's school if you have not received your HAF E-voucher.

If you haven't received your HAF Evoucher and your child's school is closed due to the school holiday, please contact HAF@Lincolnshire.gov.uk.

Cancelling bookings

If your child cannot attend a booked session, you should cancel your booking as soon as possible so that another child can be offered the place. To cancel your booking, please contact the club that you booked your child/ren onto. You can locate their contact details on your confirmation email or by clicking on your HAF Evoucher and cancelling the days that your child/ren cannot attend.

Providers can remove all future bookings if there is non-attendance of more than two consecutive days or if you have not confirmed your cancellation with the provider. We cannot guarantee that HAF Evouchers will be reimbursed if bookings are cancelled late.

There is no handbook to being a parent. Much less being a parent of a child with special educational needs.

How do you support your child in school? Where do you even begin to try and access local services? What can you expect from your local authority?

Co-written by a parent who has been there and a SEND professional who understands the other side of the SEND system, this must-have book answers all of your questions and more. Focusing on the needs of your child rather than diagnostic labels, this easy-to-use guide includes suggestions that you can dip in and out of and includes explanations of language used in this book around SEND. It guides parents through situations at home, from settling at bedtime and understanding instructions, to navigating the school and the SEND system. Perhaps most importantly, it helps you understand your legal rights with practical advice for EHC Needs Assessment, accessing support and much more.

When you don't know where else to turn, this dip-in handbook is packed full of useful suggestions, tips and experience. It's like the conversation with a friend you need whenever you need that extra bit of support as a parent of a child with SEND.

Now is the time to update our school policies and practices With exclusion rates soaring in recent years, we can no longer overlook everything that has been learnt about the impact of what are known as Adverse Childhood Experiences (Felitti & Anda 2010) on children s minds and bodies, and how the nervous system functions best. We know that relationships are essential for recovery and for settling to learn: but our UK educational practices are still geared to withdrawing relationship when times get tough, leading to escalation of challenging behaviour and further rejection for already traumatised children and young people. This has to stop. Many educators are now recognising how significant alternative ways of thinking in the classroom are for optimising engagement and learning. Louise explores how to facilitate quality moments of relationship with children and young people that genuinely reach them, where they are, recognising the impact of trauma on their emotional state, mental functioning and ability, or lack of it, to trust the adults. She helps identify the best way to work so that we can teach curriculum as well as healthy behaviours. Honouring biology by building on Perry s (2006) neuro -developmental sequence, Louise provides numerous creative ways of being and doing for those wanting to ensure school is as inclusive as it can be.

Parent on Teen Life Course

A really engaging and inspiring session. It was great to see and hear so much passion for inclusion

School leader

X from WTT especially explained Autism perfectly and of all the training I have done over the years, I feel I came away having learnt and understood so much and can't wait to share with my colleagues.

Pre-school SENCO

A huge thank you, our meeting this morning has been an enormous help at refocussing our thinking regards supporting X and how we should move forward. It has also been a valuable reminder at how we need to evidence the smaller steps

Learning Mentor

Training was brilliant and well received, I've already had a thank you from a member of staff and it's heartening to see them reflect and look at how strategies can benefit a whole class.

SENCo

This Autism session is already brilliant. Do all teachers on teacher training get this, they should, as should every teacher or person who comes into contact with young people. This is so informative, accessible and relevant.
