'Let's Play' event held at BGU
The Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion (SENDI) team at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) is delighted to have welcomed Neil Stuart from Autism New Zealand, who joined us for the day to share the Let’s Play approach. This adult-change programme enables parents and early years practitioners to offer joyous and quality experiences of play from the child’s own patterns, making it possible for young children with autism to enjoy playing with their parents and carers without uncertainty or fear.'Fantastic and engaging presentation. Thoroughly enjoyed listening & hopefully putting some strategies into practice.' Bev Clark (Parent/ PAACT) Over a hundred attendees from across Lincolnshire and surrounding counties gathered on Thursday 20th June at BGU, to join in this one-off opportunity to learn more about New Zealand’s national early steps programme. The mixed audience of parents, practitioners, students, academics, and other professionals had opportunities to gain new understanding and reflect on their own approaches, learning to relate and connect through playfulness in ways meaningful for the child. The day’s free training was highly entertaining and drew on ingenious metaphors to raise empathy and to demonstrate the importance of change in the adult rather than the child. Complete with evidence base, video coaching and the simplicity of ‘pattern, memory, variation’, this approach got everybody thinking.'This is the second time I have visited Bishop Grosseteste University to see Neil and he has not disappointed on either occasion. His character, passion and knowledge about the subject of play, in particular engaging autistic children in play, is captivating. I would thoroughly recommend. Each time I left feeling a renewed energy to pass on the little gems of wisdom we learned to the team back in our setting.' Anna Thorpe (Abbey Academies)'Inspirational – affirms the way we work when supporting autistic children and their families to build connections and meaningful relationships; the principles, ethos and beliefs.' Adele Sherrif (WTT) From the feedback, it was widely agreed this innovative approach had been insightful and inspiring, providing everything needed to implement the new thinking and to change practice. A huge thank you to Neil who enabled us to share this humanist approach as a free event.'Brilliant training leaving a lot to think about and move forward with.' Ellie Newton (WTT) This SENDI team event contributes to a series of international collaborations of knowledge exchange, enhancing understanding through international perspectives.

BGU Touring Exhibition Arrives at the Stonebow Ahead of Centenary Event
Bishop Grosseteste University’s (BGU) ‘Votes for Women’ touring exhibition will be on public show at the historic Stonebow, Lincoln, on Thursday 13 December 2018, 10am to 3pm, courtesy of City of Lincoln Council. The exhibition, ‘Vote100: A Lincolnshire View of Women’s Suffrage', charts the story of the campaign for the vote, locally and nationally. The content also includes some new material on the strengthening of the role of women in local politics in Lincoln. The exhibition was first developed in partnership with Lincoln Central Library, and has since been on tour in locations in the city and in North Kesteven. The content has been designed by staff and recent students of BGU, together with the input of Lincoln Central Library staff and other partners and contributors. Dr Andrew Jackson, Historian and Head of Research at BGU, emphasised the significance of the exhibition: "It is a privilege and a symbolic opportunity to place our Vote100 exhibition in the historic centre of city politics on this important date. The campaign for the vote for women was a very long and hard-fought one, demanding great commitment and remarkable personal sacrifice. The story, which includes the role of women of the county, is a very inspiring one for present times" Sian Hope Johnson MA, recent BGU English Literature student, who has also been involved in the exhibition's curation added: "This year's celebrations of the centenary of Women's suffrage have been immense. To be able to add Lincolnshire’s women into the narrative has been an honour. The exhibition tells the story of the fight for Women's suffrage in Lincolnshire, but, for me, it tells of the struggle, determination and perseverance of women county wide. I am proud, more than ever, to be a Lincolnshire Woman" Following its appearance in the Stonebow, ‘Vote100’ returns to Lincoln Central Library on Friday 14 December where, alongside another BGU exhibition 'Celebrating Women's Football: Past and Present', it will form part of the celebration of the centenary of the 1918 General Election, when many women were able to exercise the vote for the first time. The Research Team at BGU are dedicated to preserving and championing the history of Lincolnshire and its residents. You can keep up to date with all their activities via our website or, if you would like to get involved yourself, you can contact our Enquiries Team to find out how to start your new adventure. -
