Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS)

Information about Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS).

What is PINS?

Partnerships for inclusion of neurodiversity in schools (PINS) is a national programme that brings specialist health and education professionals and expert parent carers into mainstream primary schools to: 

  • help shape whole-school special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision
  • provide early interventions at a school level
  • upskill school staff
  • support the strengthening of partnerships between schools and parent carers
  • strengthen knowledge and skills
  • improve environments to better meet the needs of all children, but with a particular focus on neurodivergence

A group of schools from both Herefordshire and Worcestershire are involved.
