Critically, it will focus on the potential to use technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to educate, empower and protect entire communities.

Causeway Neurodiversity WHAT NEXT Fair
Causeway Neurodiversity is holding a WHAT NEXT fair. At Causeway Neurodiversity young people, adults and families are constantly asking what happens after school or what options are out there to support people through their adult years to include education, training, employment, and social and emotional support.
We have 30 stalls to fill at Lodge Hotel and this will give you and your agency/ service the opportunity to let neurodivergent young people, adult and their families how you can support them in the future. This event has been funded by the Policing Board as we recognise that those in Education and Employment or in services are less likely to get involved in criminality.

Free Cerebral Palsy Sleep Resource
The Northern Ireland Cerebral Palsy Register and Queen’s University Belfast are delighted to share with you our free resources on sleep and CP. These resources are the results of Dr Mary-Elaine McCavert’s PhD on sleep disturbances in children with CP and were created alongside children with CP and their parents thanks to the support of the John Glover Memorial Award.
All three resources (including one for families and one for the GP core team) can be found and downloaded from here: https://www.qub.ac.uk/research-centres/NorthernIrelandCerebralPalsyRegister/Sleep-disturbances-Cerebral-palsy/ . For your convenience, we have attached the resource for educational staff. We hope this supports you and your pupils with CP, who may also have difficulties with sleep.
