Motorsport is as much a business as it is a sport. Our new master’s programme will provide students with a broad range of modules which examine the national and international aspects of the industry from a commercial perspective.

Our programme will help you to develop as professionals with a strong grounding in ethics and a clear sense of how motorsport relates to various cultures, stakeholders and the sectors it interacts with.

A whole day of workshops for groups of pupils throughout your school, delivered by a dedicated ally of disabled people. Engaging and thought-provoking, these workshops are a must for schools that want to challenge prejudice and promote disability equality. WORKSHOPS WILL HELP PUPILS TO: * learn more about disability and human rights * hear disabled people’s perspectives * identify common stereotypes and some of the prejudices disabled people face * consider what disability is and how it arises * understand the difference between impairment and disability * review terminology and its effect on disabled people’s identities * learn about disabled people who have made a difference * ask sensitive questions anonymously * become advocates for disability equality 95-100% OF PARTICIPANTS SAY THAT THEY FOUND OUR WORKSHOP HELPFUL Some of the reasons pupils have given for finding the workshop helpful are: * “Until today I had always been scared of disabled people but today I have learnt that disabled people have a heart and emotions too.” * “I now understand more about disabilities. My sister and brother has disabilities.” * “It shows that although disabled people have limits they can do many things.” * “Because presenter told in very simply way about complicated things and used interesting examples.” * “Now I know that disabled people do things differently.” FAQS: How long is each workshop? 40-45 minutes; this can be adjusted to fit in with your school day. How many workshops will you deliver? We can deliver up to six workshops in a day. How many pupils should there be in each group? The workshops are interactive, so they are more effective with groups of around 20 pupils. We are often asked to work with larger groups and this still generates excellent feedback from pupils and staff. What year groups are these workshops for? The workshops are suitable for all year groups in primary and secondary schools; we adapt the content and presentation according to the age of pupils. Does a member of staff need to stay with the group? Yes, we ask that a member of staff is present at each workshop. Will you need any equipment? We ask for a computer, projector and access to the internet. Pupils will need a pen to write with. How are the workshops evaluated? At the end of each workshop we ask all (except the youngest) pupils to write down if they have found it helpful or not and why; we may also offer them an opportunity to ask a question anonymously.If schools have opted for this (please see optional extras below) we will send the school written responses to questions and a transcript of pupils’ feedback as evidence of impact. COST: CSIE price: £800+vat plus expenses Optional extras: a) written responses to pupils’ anonymous questions (£50+vat) b) transcript of pupils’ feedback, as evidence of impact (£50+vat)

One of the most frequent telephone queries we receive at Inclusive Solutions is from parents whose disabled son or daughter is about to make the transition from Primary to Secondary School. Typically there is a tale to be told of LA planning procedures that are too little and too late, and a severe lack of confidence from all parties that the transition will be successful. Little wonder that transfers from mainstream to special schools continue to peak at Year 7! COURSE CATEGORY Peer Support Strategic Work Visioning and Problem Solving Person Centred Planning DESCRIPTION One of the most frequent telephone queries we receive at Inclusive Solutions is from parents whose disabled son or daughter is about to make the transition from Primary to Secondary School. Typically there is a tale to be told of LA planning procedures that are too little and too late, and a severe lack of confidence from all parties that the transition will be successful. Little wonder that transfers from mainstream to special schools continue to peak at Year 7! Because of this we have put together a different kind of support plan that aims to maximise the chances of Primary/Secondary transitions being successful. In essence our approach brings together a person centred planning tool called ‘MAPS [https://inclusive-solutions.com/product/maps-process-step-by-step-guide/]’ and a ‘Circle of Friends’ recruited from within the Year 7 tutor group. The Circle of Friends forms the core of the MAPS [https://inclusive-solutions.com/product/maps-process-step-by-step-guide/] session and are central in developing (with parents and staff) a Plan for embedding the focus child in the new school setting. Community Circles bring together disabled and non disabled pupils in a network of mutual support. Peer support is an approach to impacting on inclusion and transition in primary and secondary schools by actively involving other pupils. Enjoy participating in a multi media workshop that will challenge, entertain and reach for your emotions. Watch young people doing their stuff! TESTIMONIALS > ‘It had a huge impact on all levels’ > ‘Very user friendly’ LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. To be able to understand the values and wider context of peer support 2.

Take a tour through this range of strategies for bringing about smooth transitions, meeting challenging emotional needs and to develop inclusion. * Circles of friends: peer support and inclusion. Pupils work to problem solve with and actively support the inclusion and behaviour change of one of their peers * Community Circles of Exchange and Mutual Support set up between disabled and non disabled group * Peer support, counselling and mediation: reduce bullying and address emotional needs as older pupils offer active listening support and interventions * Cross Age Mentoring: older pupils offer supportive mentoring to younger pupils in the same school or in feeder primary schools * MAPS [https://inclusive-solutions.com/product/maps-process-step-by-step-guide/] and PATH [https://inclusive-solutions.com/product/path-process-step-by-step-guide/] as person centred planning for transitions
