On 5 November, invited guests \u2013 including Autism Beds, Bedford Borough Parent Carer Forum, EPIC – Luton Parent Carer Forum, EMBRACE – formerly Beds & District Cerebral Palsy Society, Special Schools Forum – convened by Central Beds Council, CBC SEND Team (early years and schools), Mencap – Bedford & Luton, and more \u2013 will attend a launch event for the project, which will see Shuttleworth actively engaging in consultation and co-production with \u2018critical friends\u2019 to understand the developments required to make the visitor attraction a more inclusive place of heritage, learning, and excitement.<\/p>\n
The receipt of this UKSPF funding will allow the team to access expert support during this project, including commissioning award-winning sensory consultants Collar & Cuffs as facilitators. The project will also involve: co-creating workshops and developing sensory resources, establishing a pilot group of local SEND school representatives, community groups, families and providers, creating a bespoke \u2018What to expect\u2019 video with supporting print resources, and establishing bespoke communication symbols to better reflect the Collection and Garden at Shuttleworth.<\/p>\n
The project is intended for people of all ages with SEND, as the team hope to make Shuttleworth a go-to destination for everyone.<\/p>\n
Learning Co-ordinator, Matthew Studdert-Kennedy, said, \u201cWe\u2019re really excited to be launching SENsing Shuttleworth on 5 November. We hope that we will be able to significantly improve our SEND offering in order to be an accessible and appealing cultural space for all audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
