A  concern for a young person moving from Y6 - 7  is self-concept as a young person with limb difference and how this impacts well-being and confidence.  The EP recommended developing some scripts to explain in a way they feel comfortable to new people they meets – this being especially important to prepare prior to moving to a new setting. Does anyone have any advice, resources,  or know of a organisation who could help with this? We are in the SW.

Has anyone used Changing Faces? Thanks

There are a variety of resources for school to raise awareness and dispel myths related to ‘looking different’ www.reach.org.uk. Exposing pupils to diversity (representation is powerful).

I hope this helps 🙂
