St Piers implements Play Strategy in children's residential

Last October, as part of us developing our own ‘Play Strategy’, FE tutor Annette Maynard was given an opportunity to accept a secondment to teach support workers in all eight children residential houses about the value of play. This involved teaching child development and looking at developmental milestones reflecting on the children and young people they work with.

St Piers real lives: Meet David

David is 21 years old and has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning difficulties. He has been at Young Epilepsy, home to St Piers School and College, since he was 11, starting off as a 52 week residential student. At first, David struggled to settle in, as he found communicating difficult and displayed challenging behaviour as a result.
