Expanding our educational support

At Shine, we offer dedicated support to help us ensure that our members’ needs are being met educationally.

This is fully bespoke for each member and our Education Officer, Aimee Cave, works with parents/ carers individually to know where any difficulties may arise with schooling and what we need to do to ensure that the right support is in place.

Aimee can help deliver training for schools, attend meetings, help with EHCPs and support schools to ensure their provision is right for our members, amongst many other things!

Aimee is new to post and is working hard to expand our educational offer, currently building on our existing training package for schools, setting up regular webinars for parents and schools on a variety of topics, and later in the year will be launching the Spina Bifida Friendly Schools’ Award and the Hydrocephalus Friendly Schools’ Award.

“I love working for Shine! It is an absolute pleasure to support our younger members and their families to ensure that the provision is right in school - this is a real passion of mine!

Having worked as a SENDCO for the last 7 years, I’m thrilled to now be able to support Shine’s members to get the help that they need to allow them to become the next generation of talented young adults.”
