Our training packages enable schools, services and businesses to see an individual's abilities rather than their disability.
At Family Pathway our expert knowledge means that we work with schools, employers, local authorities, and third sector providers to shift mindsets, creating attitudes of curiosity and understanding to enable individuals with challenging characteristics and deficits in Executive Functioning Skills to access work, school and college thus participating positively in their daily lives, be it in the workplace or at school.
Our awareness training programmes are tailored to meet the needs of individual businesses, schools and services. We work with members of the leadership team and governing body, both in schools and in business to support the understanding of the Equalities Act (2010) and explore what it means to make reasonable adjustments and adaptations, securing equitable inclusion.

What our clients say:
Person A: The session was excellent. The trainer made the session interesting and informative, and helped to make it comfortable to talk about experiences. The videos from Alison, Mica and Steve are a brilliant idea. Alison, Mica and Steve have strengthen my confidence when speaking with colleagues from the LGBTQ+ community, as well as help me educate my friends and family about the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you!

Person B: The trainer was relaxed, professional and had a personable approach. My favourite element was how much the experiences of people from the LGBTQ+ community was woven into the fabric of the course. This gave it an authenticity and brought the ideas and issues to life.
