Free SEND Information Sessions for Parents and Carers
Published on
Upcoming SEND information sessions, designed to help parents and carers feel more confident.
We are pleased to announce a new series of free information sessions designed specifically for parents and carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
These sessions have been shaped directly by the topics you’ve told us matter most, and they aim to build confidence, improve understanding, and help you feel more prepared when working with education and health professionals.
They are informational workshops only - not opportunities to discuss individual cases, but they will give you the knowledge you need to better navigate support for your child or young person.
