Opportunity: Help shape better support for neurodivergent children and young people across Cheshire & Merseyside

Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations are invited to express interest in delivering training as part of a new neurodiversity pathway for children, young people and families across Cheshire and Merseyside.

Funded through the Beyond Programme, the training aims to build a consistent understanding of a needs-led approach and a newly established profiling tool among professionals in health, education, and family services.

Two delivery lots are available:

• Lot 1: Regular training sessions for professionals (12-month programme; £14,000).

• Lot 2: Online information sessions for families and carers (46 sessions; £3,000).

Training resources and support will be provided, with delivery expected from June 2025 to May 2026, and potential for a 12-month extension.

Expressions of interest (max 500 words) must be submitted by 5pm, Thursday 22 May 2025 to alison.cullen@vsnw.org.uk.
