Some West Yorkshire CANN Organisations

Worley’s World CIC

Worley’s World CIC works with parents and carers who are overwhelmed, living in survival mode or supporting children with additional needs. We use the Worley’s World Model, which is a trauma-aware and play-led approach that helps families build emotional language, connection and calmer routines. We offer parenting workshops, one-to-one support and practical home resources that make daily life feel more manageable. We also work with schools, nurseries, community organisations and professionals, helping them use the Worley’s World Model with the families they support. Our approach is neurodiversity affirming and shaped by lived experience, along with a strong educational background as a former primary school teacher and training in NLP, behaviour and emotional regulation. Everything we do is designed to help adults feel confident, supported and empowered to parent in a way that works for their world.
