SSIF Seminars
Southend SEND Independent Forum (SSIF) hosted a series of seminars.
Each seminar:
- was open to the whole community
- focused on a particular topic
- provided information and advice
- responded to questions submitted by parent carers
- had a co-production session where attendees told the Local Offer team what information is needed in a visual `roadmap` of the process discussed at the seminar to help parent carers navigate the system
