Bristol Parent Carers Participation Event 2017

Design the Help You Need!

On 13th June, parent / carers and professionals will come together to help design services and improve support for your child (0-25) with special educational needs / disabilities.

We’ll be running two sessions (10:00 – 14:30) or (18:00 – 21:00) with the same content, so you can choose which is best for you.

Topics in each session include:

Making the transfer between educational settings better

Designing support from the Birth-25 Service with and without a social worker

Discovering new initiatives and resources for education, health, and care in Bristol

Workshops

In the Education workshop we will look at how to improve transfers for children between educational settings. So that you are placed at the correct table, when you book please choose – either the transfer your child is approaching that you have concerns about, or a transfer that you have experienced that we can learn from – out of the following options:

Early year’s transfers

Primary to Secondary transfer

Mainstream to specialist provision transfers (including transfers to additional learning provisions, such as Hospital Education, Pupil Referral Units, etc.)

Secondary to Post-16 transfer

Out of education (beyond education) transfer
