Solent Careers Hub: Cedar School Filming

Solent Careers Hub: Cedar School Filming

We partnered with Solent Careers Hub and the Cedar School to produce a series of films showcasing career support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The project aimed to challenge stereotypes, highlight the strengths of SEND students, and encourage businesses to offer work experience opportunities. By featuring pupils and staff in authentic school settings, the films portrayed the real impact of tailored career guidance, emphasising the importance of inclusivity in the workplace.

The films focused on breaking down barriers and promoting the potential of SEND students, showcasing their abilities rather than limitations. Through candid footage, we highlighted how targeted career planning at Cedar School empowers students to build confidence and explore their future career paths. The goal was to inspire both businesses and other schools to create similar opportunities that nurture the talents of SEND students.

The initiative included two short videos for social media, aimed at raising awareness and engaging a wide audience, along with a polished six-minute film for YouTube and direct communications. The longer film showcased the significant role of the Solent Careers Hub in enhancing career planning at Cedar School. It also served as a call to action for other educational institutions to implement similar initiatives to support SEND students in their career development.

Ultimately, the films sought to encourage businesses to adopt more inclusive practices in offering work experience placements, promoting greater equality and opportunity for all students. By shining a spotlight on the abilities of SEND pupils and the power of community collaboration, the project highlighted the positive impact of providing career support tailored to individual needs.
