Routines that stay consistent
Children with additional needs often benefit most from predictable routines, whoever is providing support. Sharing clear, written routines with any carer helps keep transitions smooth and reduces anxiety for the child.
Working alongside professionals
Carers supporting a child should work closely with parents, guardians and any relevant professionals, following agreed communication approaches and updating the family on anything that matters.
Share communication approaches agreed with professionals
Keep a simple shared record of what's working well
