Introducing This is Me – a new tool to support neurodivergent children and young people
Based on feedback from parents, carers, children and young people, Cheshire and Merseyside have launched a new way of supporting children with neurodiverse needs. A key part of this is the This is Me profiling tool.
What is the This is Me profiling tool? The tool helps identify the strengths and needs of neurodivergent children and young people as early as possible.
It focuses on how a child thinks and learns differently, so that families, schools, and other professionals can work together to put the right support in place at home, at school, and in the community.
It involves children, young people and families completing the profile with a practitioner as the first step in accessing earlier help and tailored support.
The tool has already been used successfully implemented in Portsmouth and other areas. It has now been adapted for Cheshire and Merseyside.
When will it be available? In Halton, This is Me will be introduced from November, starting with a small number of children. This phased approach will allow us to test, learn, and improve the support we provide.

Dear Parents and Carers,
We’re excited to invite you to a special event designed just for you — a chance to hear about the progress we’ve made in supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and to share what’s coming next.
📅 Date: 7th October 2025 🕒 Time: 1pm Arrival tea and coffee, 1.30pm start, finish 2.30pm 📍 Location: The Masonic Hall, Kingsway, Widnes , Cheshire WA8 7QH 🎟️ Register: Scan the QR or use this link: forms.office.com/e/dZN7b9D14R
This “You Said, We Did” event is all about listening, learning, and improving together. We’ll be sharing:
*An update from the Strategy Development event held in February 2025 *Updates on recent improvements made based on your feedback *Plans for future developments in SEND *Opportunities to ask questions and share your thoughts
Whether you’re a parent, carer, or guardian, your voice matters — and we want to make sure you’re informed, involved, and inspired.
We’re always looking for ways to make our swimming programme even more magical for you and your little ones. Our award-winning, child-led lessons already teach vital lifesaving skills, swimming techniques, and water confidence – and now we’re adding an extra splash of fun! 💚💦
Meet our NEW family of enchanting sea creature characters! 🐠🦀🦑
These adorable friends will guide your little swimmer on their aquatic journey, celebrating every splashy milestone and making our levels easier (and more fun!) to navigate – both in and out of the pool.
Here’s what’s changing: ✨ Our old level names (like “Baby Level 1”) are being swapped for our new sea creature friends ✨ Some levels now cover a wider age range, giving you more flexibility to find the perfect class for your child ✨ New badges and stickers are on the way too to celebrate your swimmer’s achievements! 🎉
Our award-winning programme is staying exactly the same. You don’t need to change classes – we’ve already placed your child into the right new sea creature level. Our teachers will continue to guide you if and when a class move feels right 💚
We can’t wait for you and your little ones to splash into this exciting new adventure with us! 🐢💦 … See MoreSee Less
