SEND Surgeries - SEND events and activities

If you are a parent carer of a child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities, we know that it can be difficult to find your way “through the system” and get clear information and answers to questions.

Based on this feedback, the Southend Council SEND Team hold monthly ‘SEND Surgeries’ in locations across Southend. The events provide families with an informal opportunity to drop in, ask questions and receive help about a range of areas including:

• what to do if you feel your child of young person may have a special educational need or disability
• the support available for children and young people in education settings through the graduated offer, and what to do if you're worried your child is not making progress
• how to support and prepare your child for adulthood or transitions
• advice if you're considering requesting an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment for your child or young person
• Education, Health and Care Plans
• help to use the EHC Hub
• home to school or college transport
• services available in the local area to support you and your child or young person
• the SEND Local Offer website

Surgeries run between 9:00am. and 11:00am. There is no need to book, just come along.
