Parents – we are listening to you!

A series of road-shows in Somerset for parent-carers of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

 

We want to meet you and are keen to hear your views and ideas at one of our road-shows.

• ask questions about how SEND works in Somerset
• learn how to get your point of view across successfully (training by independent supporter Ben Mitchell)
• vote on improvements to school buildings for SEND.
• meet council officers and local volunteers involved in SEND.
• find out about Core Standards in education and about Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and tell us what you and other parents need to know about these new developments
• tell us what you think of the Local Offer website and try it out with friendly advisors (https://www.somersetchoices.org.uk/family/)
• meet other parents and representatives from the Somerset parent-carer forum
• find out about opportunities for young people as they move into adulthood
