Information for teachers

This section contains practical information for those working in education. It includes: details of our work on the inclusion of students in mainstream schools, information about emotional well-being and the mental health of children and young people, ideas about how to aid children and young people with school transitions, and the transition into adulthood.

Inclusion

We have been involved in three projects set out to enhance students' experience of mainstream school and college.

Emotional wellbeing and mental health

We have undertaken a great deal of work in this area, with people with learning disabilities more likely to have mental health problems than the general population.

Coping with changes in schools and the transition into adulthood

Change is an inevitable part of life, and even small changes can have an enormous impact on lives.
