New page – alternative education📣

We’ve updated our website with information on children out of school, including a dedicated page on alternative education.

These updates explain:

🔷 When an LA must put in place alternative education for a child of compulsory school age
🔶 Your views are important - LAs should consult with parents before arrangements are made
🔷 Education must be suitable and full-time, and what that means
🔶 What you can do if you are unhappy with proposed arrangements or the education in place

Find out more and what they mean for you on our website: https://www.ipsea.org.uk/pages/category/children-out-of-school and https://www.ipsea.org.uk/alternative-education-for-children-who-cannot-attend-school

We also have a template letter (template letter 22) you can use to request alternative education.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙

First recognised by the United Nations in 2007, this day is about raising understanding, promoting inclusion and celebrating the lives and experiences of autistic people across the world.

This year’s theme is “Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value.”
A powerful reminder that every person matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and every life brings something meaningful to our communities.

At Live Well, this is something we truly believe in 💜
We see every day how important it is to create safe, supportive spaces where people can be themselves — without pressure or judgement.

As a community, we can all play a part by:

💙 Being patient
💙 Listening without judgement
💙 Creating safe, inclusive spaces
💙 Choosing kindness and understanding

Whether you’re autistic, supporting someone who is, or simply learning — you are part of this conversation.

Let’s continue to build a world where everyone feels seen, valued and included 💫
