SSIF invite ParentCarers of children with SEND to their second Seminar this year. This is part of a series of valuable and informative events.
This seminar is aimed at ParentCarers who are at the start of their SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) journey with their children and young people and are looking for answers and support.
The seminar will aim to answer questions such as:
- who are the key people involved in early identification of SEND? Who can I expect to talk to?
- what is a SENCo?
- what is the SEN Register? What is SEN Support?
- what should my child's class teacher be doing?
- what is the role of the GP, and do they need to be involved?
We have a panel of professionals from the Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) Team, Health and Education services, who will talk about SEND identification and support in schools, when an Education Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA) is needed and bust some common myths.
