Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have informed Wirral Council they will be carrying out an inspection of the services on Wirral that support children and young people with SEND.

With free online courses following the Solihull Approach, you can step into the new year with tools to better understand your family’s emotions and nurture stronger relationships.

As 2025 begins, why not start the year with a new hobby and try your hand at some poetry writing for The Christopher Salmon Foundation, in conjunction with Wirral Poetry Festival and Wirral Libraries.

New year is a time when people make resolutions and plans for the year ahead. Could 2025 be the year you become a foster carer?

Hundreds of local children and young people can look forward to opening a gift on Christmas morning thanks to the generosity of residents, community groups and organisations from across the borough.

22% of schools across the borough are now awarded with a Modeshift accreditation, meaning that Wirral ranks 4th within the list of Local Authorities nationwide (that have more than 100 schools).

As well as a wide range of daily activities, the clubs also provide delicious, nutritious meals and snacks.

The awards acknowledge the challenges overcome and the successes of young people in Wirral.

The Local Area SEND Partnership brings together all the agencies that provide SEND services for families, children and young people in Wirral.

There are some exciting planning sessions going on to help embed the Graduated Approach across Wirral Schools next year.

In September 2024 a large number of new Special Education Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) started work across Wirral’s early years settings, primary and secondary schools, and colleges.

The project uses ‘kintsugi’, an ancient Japanese technique of repairing a broken object often known as the art of precious scars.
