You are looking for a calm space to reflect on difficult moments without judgement.
You want to understand more
You want to make better sense of your child’s communication, sensory preferences and support needs.
You want a clearer next step
You are looking for practical learning and connection while navigating wider school or professional support.
Look beyond the difficult moment.
Behaviour can communicate unmet needs, uncertainty or overwhelm. ANCHOR helps adults ask what may be making a situation difficult, rather than assuming a child is choosing to be difficult.
A difficult school morning
Explore what makes getting ready or arriving at school hard, and share those concerns with the school. A difficult morning alone does not tell us its cause.
An overwhelming environment
Notice whether noise, busy spaces or unexpected changes are making participation harder. Learning focuses on understanding the child’s experience and considering appropriate support.
A disagreement with others
Consider communication and support needs alongside what happened. The aim is to help children feel heard and take part safely, with clear boundaries.
Progress may mean more manageable routines, clearer conversations or greater confidence asking for help. Experiences differ; reduced anxiety, incidents or exclusions cannot be promised. Read our actual early findings.
A supportive space. Not another judgement.
Our workshops help parents consider what a child may be communicating and explore more consistent responses in everyday situations.
You can ask questions and reflect without sharing identifying information about your child. Sessions are educational: they do not provide diagnosis, therapy, clinical advice or emergency support.
CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE
Workshops and membership are different offers.
Facilitated parent workshops
No diagnosis or referral is needed. Community workshops may offer free or pay-what-you-can places; check each event listing. Group learning is delivered by ANCHOR Inclusion, with space for discussion. Six weekly sessions are available as a commissioned cohort, with dates, format and fees agreed separately.
Tell us your preferred location, weekdays, times and the areas you would like support with. Do not attend a venue without a confirmed session.
Self-directed learning, resources and an optional monthly group webinar.
Planned introductory offer: three months for £5.99. Standard membership is planned from January 2027 at £18.99 per month or £149.99 annually. No payment is taken through the waiting list.
Calm, practical learning for the adults around a child.
Support always depends on the child’s age, the practitioner’s approved scope and the family’s needs.
Choose support that fits your family.
Our current parent education and evidence-building focus is children aged 4–12. Secondary-school development is planned towards 2030. Individual practitioner support has its own age range and suitability requirements.
In-person workshops are based in Greater London. For families elsewhere, explore the online learning and planned monthly webinars. You can use parent learning independently of whether your school commissions training.
CONNECT HOME AND SCHOOL
Would this help your child’s school?
All 22 parents who answered this question said yes.They wanted their child’s school to work with ANCHOR.
Several expressions of interest can help a school understand that families would value this support. The school makes its own decision about whether to discuss or commission training, and submitting a request does not affect your access to parent support.
The practitioner register is a separate route to independent SEN support for children aged 5 to 16. A diagnosis is not required. A school-issued support plan is not required.
Home-educating families are welcome to explore suitable support. Availability, suitability and each practitioner’s scope must be considered before any booking. Live bookings are not yet enabled. Join the priority list and we confirm places in enrolment order.
Tell us whether you are looking for parent support, school training or professional development. Please do not include identifying information about a child.
