Professional depth.
Human connection.

I have worked with Emma for a number of years supporting children with ASC and reintegrating them into mainstream provision.

I have always found Emma to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and reflective. Emma supported me when I started my SEN journey and has been a great mentor and role model.

Emma’s knowledge of Autism strategies and theories are extensive and have been pertinent to the development of a successful ASC provision.

I would recommend Emma’s service to any family, educational setting or professional service, she is passionate, conscientious and knowledgeable.

It has been a pleasure working with Emma.

I have had the privilege of working with Emma on different projects and sharing ideas on both personal and professional issues. She is passionate about what she does and has such a heart full of love and compassion for seeing everyone reach their full potential.

She understands the individuality of people and the very need for everyone to have an opportunity to live out their particular life and life situation to their maximum potential. The work she does and the heart behind it is fundamentally about creating a supportive, safe and sustainable structure for people to reach this potential. Whoever she supports is in safe, capable hands.

Emma has provided training for our children’s teams in supporting children and young people with additional needs, advice around individual children and families and also direct work with families.

Emma is truly a joy and inspiration to work with, Emma has a wealth of professional experience and expertise to bring to whatever setting she is working in, her training is insightful but very accessible, especially for our volunteer teams, her advice and guidance around supporting families has been invaluable and her direct work has been transforming for the families she has worked with. Along with her professional skills Emma’s compassion, respect, values and empowering attitude towards those she works with is truly inspiring, – I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Emma Pinnock was one of the best appointments I ever made!

Her role as an Assistant Head Teacher was to establish and develop an ASC resource base that would successfully support children with additional needs to achieve their full potential across the curriculum. This was achieved through her skilful leadership; her wealth of knowledge and the special relationships that she developed with children and families. Her commitment to the personal development of these young people went way beyond the school gate; impacting on family life to such an extent that delighted parents reported that they were confidently taking their child to the supermarket, to the cinema…on holiday even!

The specialist expertise that she brought to the school facilitated the development of staff expertise thus enabling pupils to successfully integrate into main stream classrooms with their peers. Ofsted inspectors commented that they couldn’t pick out the ‘base’ pupils in classes with their peer group!

Emma is a special person; an outstanding communicator, teacher, mentor, coach who is ultimately extremely sensible and pragmatic; instilling confidence in all who work with her. I recommend her without hesitation.
