Sports Day brings fun for some, but change and challenges for others. This resource explains what will be different on Sports Day, so may reduce some uncertainty. Above all, it's essential to follow the young person's lead and give them space to take part in the ways that they feel comfortable.

This resource encourages young people to take some time and space to think about ways in which they can be kind to themselves. Whether exams are looming or a hectic school year is coming to an end, having a list of ways to decompress and find joy is always useful. We’ve added some suggestions from our team members. What would you add?

In the latest episode of the Middletown Podcast, we chat to Elaine McGoldrick and Aoife Munroe about how they are part of a team that has adapted the SPACE Framework for an education setting. The framework is a neuroaffirming guide for professionals that are supporting autistic people. They share practical tips founded in the framework to guide educators to better understand and support autistic experience.

Hopefully the sun is here to stay for a while! Everyone knows the importance of protecting our skin in the sun, but applying cream can create real discomfort and stress for those with sensitivities to touch and/or smell. Creating predictability around this can reduce some anxieties, and so this resource clarifies how much cream will be used and where it will be applied. Giving a child the choice to apply their own cream, with supervision, will also give them control and add predictability. Remember to explore all alternatives as some options may be easier to tolerate, such as spray, aerosol or roll on.

Exam anxiety is natural and can creep up on any student. This resource helps students to take a step back and examine their anxiety logically to see if they can better manage parts of it.
