As a school we want to play a role in improving SEND services for our children and young people. We now have an opportunity to provide a confidential space here in school for families of children with SEND through a new Parent Champion project delivered and funded by SENDiass4BCP and Parent Carers Together.
On the first Friday of each month a dedicated Parent Champion, Kerry Lowe, will hold one session to support families in navigating appropriate local and National services and networks to meet the needs of their children. These meetings can be booked in advance through the email address given: (clare.kent@longfleet.coastalpartnership.co.uk). You child does not have to have a diagnosis for you to attend a session with the Parent Champion.
Our first session will held on Friday 7th October, 10-12. Time slots are allocated to individual families on a first come first served basis and are held in confidence during the school day.
If you are experiencing difficulties and are unsure where to access the support and resources you need please do get in touch and confirm your interest in writing. The role of the Parent Champion is to listen and to share knowledge of the services and the networks in your local community that may be of help to you. This is a safe space for you to talk about any worries or concerns you may have.
This is a valuable resource we are so pleased to be part of. Together we can improve services and support for families within our school community.
