Our premises are still open!

A small number of our students are continuing to access our services from our building. It's a massive space, so it makes it easy to implement social distancing measures. Staff also have access to PPE.

 

We are also working closely with Wigan Council to provide a different kind of service during the lockdown for those students and families who are isolating, or who are choosing not to come into our building at this time. This includes:

 

• providing 1:1 and 2:1 support in students' own homes;

• using technology to bring the service to our students: we have daily Facebook Live sessions and Zoom meetings;

• taking students for short walks;

• having picnics, craft sessions and chats in the garden;

• support students and families with shopping, picking up prescriptions, etc.

Lockdown log book

We've produced a 'Lockdown Log Book' for students to record their experiences during lockdown - you can read more about it in our current enewsletter. If you would like adding to our mailing list, please get in touch.
