Testimonial

“I have enjoyed going into the classroom to help them with their work and gaining a relationship where they can trust me. I feel like the group has helped me gain confidence and be able to give more ideas.”

“It was challenging to get out of my comfort zone and work with strangers in the beginning. Attending this group has given me more confidence.”

Statements from Primary staff: 

“Over the recent weeks I have observed L’s confidence grow and he has started to respond more intuitively to the needs of the children he has been working with.”
