CHILDREN with autism and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs account for more than half of the education and healthcare plans issued to youngsters in Northumberland.

- JAMES ROBINSON Local Democracy Reporter

It comes as the number of children with additional needs rises rapidly - the number of children requiring a plan rose from 1,679 in 2017 to 3,369 in 2023 - an increase of 100.6%.

Autism is the most identified primary need among Northumberland pupils at 28%, followed by SEMH at 27%.

The autism figure is below the national average (32%) but the SEMH figure is higher than both the regional (22%) and national (21%) figures.

Sit and staycation

THE Cotswolds often sells itself as an upmarket location for romantic mini-breaks, with cosy country pubs, tea rooms, galleries and farmers' markets. As someone who likes to holiday with their canine companion, I wondered if the welcome would be warm for those with wagging tails. Hotels are a no-no for a rescue hound like Riley, with his slightly unpredictable quirks. But a self-catering stay in the centre of Stow-on-the-Wold, proved to be the perfect pet-friendly base.
