The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the campaign run by the staff, pupils and parents of St Charles’ Language and Communication Resource (LCR) and Primary School for a Community Award to build a multisensory safe space for its pupils; understands that St Charles’ LCR supports children with difficulties in verbal and social communication, and that a multisensory safe space will provide a critical facility for all to promote alternative coping skills and a love of learning, enhancing whole school wellbeing; notes that, if successful, the project will transform a disused classroom into a bespoke multisensory environment to promote wellbeing and calmness and positive social interactions, thus improving integration between the LCR and mainstream school; further understands that, in order to win the £25,000 Community Award, it must receive the most votes in an online poll, and encourages everyone who supports the project to vote for it online at foundation.onefamily.com/projects/a-safe-space-for-the-pupils-of-st-charles-communication-unit/.
