This is the first major change to The Halfling Project website since the project became Halfling nearly 2 years ago.
It reflects the changes being made to William David work - changes set to make things clearer and simpler.
I admit that in many ways The Halfling Project has developed in a way not planned on inception.
It became known as a photo work, where in fact photography was a small part of it's remit.
It has become known for working with actors and performers - where in fact it is open to all - subject to the basic criteria.
But ok times changes and lessons learned this website will centre less on the photographic aspect - and more on it's central point of childhood and bringing awareness of autism and allied conditions - special needs and support.
Please remember much of this work with an individual is personal and confidential - so what you see here is more often than not shot and commissioned for purpose.
Also the project is not just for those who have traditional special needs - it's for any child/young adult within broadly speaking the "education age group of 5 up to leaving school/university.
This is a male based project - because the specialised support required for girls needs to be seen from the female perspective, and is a sector I have little experience in.
That said - girls often are involved as part of the family involvement.
Photography is still a major part of The Halfling Project, but the work has been split according to it's aim & much is now covered by WildVen/Act4ward.
This will be explained in more detail later.
