Amazing Things Happen
These videos are a nice resource for families and for some children. You may be familiar with the first Amazing Things Happen Autism one. It is translated into lots of community language as well – which is useful. There are several others. Please see the links below and check them out. Personally, I love them!

Contacting SENAR
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are delighted to announce that from now it will be possible to contact individual SENAR case officers by phone.
You Said - We need to be able to talk directly to the individual who is dealing with our child or young person’s case
We Did - From January 9th 2023, you will be able to telephone your child or young person’s Birmingham City Council SENAR case worker directly. Feedback from parents and carers has been very clear; being able to talk to someone who knows and understands their case, their child/young person and their situation is a top priority.
From the 9th January onwards all emails sent from SENAR officers will include:
- their direct contact telephone number that they can be reached on
- the hours in which they are available to be reached by telephone
- information identifying their non-working days
- arrangements for any leave they may be taking.
It will also be possible to leave a voicemail outside of the available hours and officers will endeavour to return calls within one working day.
The contact information for SENAR team is now available on the Local Offer Website: SEND Support and Information
Autism Sensory Packs
If you would like to apply for a sensory pack from Cauldwell Trust, please click on the link below.
