Great day! SEP feedback about BUSS in @GD_Primary from Rosie @universityofleeds. @OakdaleCentre colleagues from the Adoption & Trauma team shared their skills and knowledge around holistic assessment + neurodivergence. Rich learning + cakes to celebrate @sarah_lloyd15’s birthday
Lovely for @WrenchKatie to be connecting with other providers and social workers at the @OneAdoption_WY conference today and hearing about how they’re developing the BUSS offer for adoptive families across the region.
timetobedad.co.uk/post/from-walk… Lovely blogpost from a family who’ve just finished their work. Really gives a lovely insight into how to integrate games into daily life, the value of parent mentor groups and gorgeous changes they’ve seen in their family.
Have you been on our introductory webinar and would like to know more? Come and join us at the lovely Scrap Creative Reuse Art Project in Leeds for Level One training on 21st/22nd October, with day 3 online on 19th November. You can find out more here: bussmodel.org/training/#leve…

Development day! Asst of shoulder girdle strength; how we continue to build a community of #bussmodel practitioners; & most importantly how we capture the child’s experience of working with us. Celebratory flowers & a walk to find the horses we watch from our office window. 🙌🙌
@BussModel We are excited about the BUSS Model project in Early Years to begin with. We are really looking forward to working with you for the benefit of our young people 💜
So looking forward to working more with this amazing team later in the year
