Sibs Talk Lite is a new set of FREE resources for primary schools to support siblings who are growing up with a brother or sister who is disabled, has special educational needs (SEND) or a serious long-term health condition.
Siblings can have difficulties in school because of their sibling experiences. Sibs Talk Lite has been specifically designed in consultation with siblings and school staff, to help your school support siblings.

What is Sibs Talk Lite?
Sibs Talk Lite is a condensed version of our Key Stage 2 intervention, Sibs Talk. Over the last couple of years, schools have told us that they are struggling to meet the wellbeing and health needs of pupils. Siblings of disabled children are an often overlooked group of students whose specific needs are rarely addressed. Our new free resources will help schools open-up conversations in circle time, and offer small group work opportunities, as well as larger group activities. Teacher guidance notes are provided along with the new resources.
