"The opportunity to receive education and training is a key element for integration within society"



Futures for Children believes that the opportunity to receive education and training is a key element for integration within society and that wherever possible children should be enabled to receive education in the mainstream schools or special educational units in the community in which they are living. Futures for Children can help to access these resources by ensuring that appropriate assessment and support are available for each child.

Futures for Children has a record of success in introducing children into education in all regions of the country. On the rare occasion where a child has to await a school placement, Futures for Children require that some daytime sessional support is provided for the carers in recognition of the child being at home full time. Additional support can be negotiated with the placing local authority and tailored to the needs of the individual child.
