We are currently working with colleagues at Trinity Fields to develop a PCP Toolkit - a bank of curriculum activities and resources designed to support learners with complex needs in thinking about their future. The toolkit will cover a wide range of topics, from identifying likes and interests to understanding goals, aspirations, decision-making, and advocacy. This work is in progress, and we will share resources as soon as they are ready.
