Monthly coffee mornings for parent carers of children and young people with SEND

Southend SEND Independent Forum (SSIF) is the Parent Carer Forum (PCF) for Southend-on-Sea. Funded by the Department of Education, PCFs work alongside local authorities and health services, making sure that the voices of parents and carers of children with SEND are heard.

We hold a monthly coffee morning where parents and carers can meet and share their experiences. Guidance and advice is also available from a variety of teams and services.

There is a free sensory play creche for children under 5.

Sessions are on a Tuesday morning, 10am to 11.30am at SAVS, 29 -31 Alexandra Street, Southend-on-Sea, SS1 1BW. There is no need to book.
