Schools have improved accessibility because Time 4 Change group helped CHANGEit

The Time4Change group, aged 13-18, from York are all young people with varying special needs. Though many go to special schools, some had attended mainstream schools in the past and felt that there are a number of very small changes schools can make to ensure that there is better access and inclusion in the school atmosphere. They toured a number of schools and created a DVD and booklet to help schools think about simple, inexpensive changes they can make, from changing paint colour to putting in ramps. The group were named winners in the Performance category of the 2009 CHANGEit awards. To learn more about how you too can enter the CHANGEit awards, visit http://www.changeit.org.uk.
