Different Belongs - Neurodiversity Champions
Neurodiversity Champions are student advocates – who do not need to be neurodivergent themselves – who work alongside teachers and SENCos to celebrate different ways of thinking and learning.
Supported by clear adult guidance and healthy boundaries, we want Neurodiversity Champions to champion a vital message across the whole school community:
Different brains. Different needs. Everyone belongs.
The resources below set out guidelines for teachers, a role description for students and a certificate to recognise their role.
