Through supporting your child to experience a range of social situations to build support networks and friendships

  • We help our child to develop a close supportive network and provide opportunities for them to stay in touch with those people.
  • We create opportunities for our child to play kindly with others and to ask for help if they need it.
  • We create opportunities for our child to behave appropriately when out in the community, and model good behaviour ourselves.
  • We create opportunities for our child to make new friendships and spend time with their friends.
  • We talk with our child about relationships and help them to understand relationships beyond friends and family.
  • We support our child in understanding who they can turn to if they need help, and actively encourage them to build a support network within and outside the family.
  • We model to our child that we have people we can turn to when we need help and we seek out help when we need it.
