During our successful journey we have gathered members, Associates and followers who are helping to spread the message of the SSF and to support us in achieving our goals.
We have 6 associates currently and many more signed up for the forthcoming Associate introduction training on 28th March 2025.
We also have more schools signed up to be part of the SSF Networks who are now implementing the Six Stages Framework into their schools to ensure diversity and inclusion and to eliminating discrimination. We have helped support children and families by providing the appropriate guidance through our expertise.
