Parent, November 2021
“Your organisation has changed my son. I have had 4 years of hell with him and I didn't know such a place existed, where everyone is so kind and really puts the student first. My son feels extremely supported at CELC and after years of conflict with schools/external professionals/agencies he has finally found a school that actually listens to him and prioritises his welfare at all times. He is extremely happy at CELC and really does not want to return to mainstream but realises he needs to give it a chance. I am worried that mainstream will not provide the extensive/cohesive, personalised support network that CELC offer"
