Welcome

We assist families, schools, trusts and charities, both within the UK and globally, to support, inform and enable inclusive practice and provision.

Our services are research and evidence based, and we work in partnership to provide efficient, effective and straightforward solutions to the challenges faced by individuals and organisations today.

Our full range of services includes:

Alternative Provision and Mentoring – individualised programmes for children and young people who need a different pathway to engage with education and their world.

Leadership, Inclusion & SEND Consultancy and Training – expert support for schools, trusts and organisations, including all aspects of SEND and inclusion, alternative and enhanced provision, attendance, relationships/behaviour and safeguarding.

Assessment Services – neurodevelopmental screening and assessment for children, young people and adults, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and cognitive and learning assessments.

Advocacy, Support & Guidance – SEND advocacy and specialist guidance and support for all.

"We began by supporting children and young people. Over time, many of the parents, carers and professionals we worked alongside began exploring their own experiences too. This journey strengthened my belief that every person's story matters and deserves to be understood.

I believe that greater curiosity, open conversations and meaningful collaboration are essential. When we take the time to understand the whole person and value different perspectives, we create a fuller picture that enables earlier intervention, stronger support and greater opportunities for success. Today, Childhood Matters provides assessment, consultancy, advocacy and support for children, young people and adults, helping people feel understood, valued and empowered."
