Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) project

PINS is funded by NHS England in partnership with the Department of Education, Department for Health and Social Care and the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF).

The purpose of the project is to improve the experience of mainstream school for children with additional educational needs.

HPCI has appointed two PINS Officers and they will be hosting parent carer meetings at 25 Hertfordshire mainstream primary schools over the next two terms to hear parent carer views and experience of how all children (especially those with additional needs) are supported and included at school.

They will also be collecting ideas about how parent carers can work in partnership with the schools to create inclusivity. The PINS Officers will share themes from the parent carer feedback with senior leaders at the schools to deliver changes and improvements.
