RAISING AWARENESS IN SCHOOLS Tyler was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of eight. Following surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Tyler was doing well and had returned to school.
A VERY SPECIAL THANK-’YOU’
As Tyler transitioned to secondary school, her difficulties with memory, fatigue, concentration, and balance became more apparent. She felt increasingly isolated and was quickly losing confidence.
to all our contributors The Children’s Trust online awareness course helps to ensure teachers know what to look out for, and what assistance children might need in class to help them to continue to develop and learn.
Tyler The second part of the information pathway, the more in-depth training, is set to be available virtually or in person. This option can be delivered to all staff from an individual school or representatives from several different schools in a specific area. The team at The Children’s Trust are continuously updating the content and plan to launch the second pathway in the
coming months for teaching professionals who are interested in taking their learning to a more advanced level. The Children’s Trust aims to provide teachers with easily accessible resources so they feel confident in supporting a child who may be returning to school after acquiring a brain injury.
