Our model is based on the real-life delivery of the Loddon Approach pioneered and developed by the Loddon School, which helps staff, parents and carers to deliver a whole person approach that is informed by each individual’s needs.
We operate a structure of certification that allows organisations to develop an in-house training programme of the highest standards.
