RISE is a free-to-access service for all settings in Reading, delivered by BFfC, helping schools support all learners to achieve their potential by improving what they can offer.
The service supports schools by offering free training and coaching, audits, supervision and networks, and boasts specialists and consultants, including a Senior Educational Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist and Occupational Therapist, with experience and knowledge of the different areas of need. These include:
- Mental health
- Neurodiversity
- Behaviour
- Speech, language and communication
- Sensory needs
If a parent/carer feels that their child’s school could benefit from support from the RISE team, please discuss this with the school’s SEND department. Individual referrals are not accepted.
Brian Grady, Director of Education at BFfC, said: “The RISE service is a fantastic asset available to all Reading settings at no cost.
“The aim is to upskill Reading town and Reading schools so more children can be supported by the skills and knowledge that will be shared with teachers.”
