Securing Change is our programme to ensure parents who have stayed at our family assessment centres have continued support, regardless of the outcome 🌱

Dads reading to their children is one of the best ways of building bonds and connections. That's why our Jigsaw Contact Centre is packed with books. We also make it part of our five a day programme for children. The benefits are huge and long lasting.

Securing Change works with parents who leave our family residential assessment centres. It is an optional service for parents. We help them settle back into the community, make sure they are getting what they need and have someone to turn to.

Yes, please let us restate this as often as needed
It's been said often in #MedEd, but it's worth restating:
Assessments (including surveys) r not valid or invalid; rather, the scores, ratings, or other outcomes of assessments have more/less evidence to support or refute a specific interpretation (eg, passing/failing a course).
