TICKET NUMBERS HAVE NOW BEEN EXTENDED DUE TO DEMAND!

Parents, carers, pupils (as appropriate), Governors and professionals, including Head teachers, SENCos and school staff, do please join us for the launch of the new ‘‘Southend SEND: Shared Expectations’.

This is a free drop in event but numbers are limited so please book your ticket via Eventbrite.

At the event you will be able to find out more and, where appropriate, contribute to next steps including:

• ‘Southend SEND: Shared Expectations’. This new guidance is for schools, covering statutory school age pupils, and will make clear the expectations for SEND that ALL schools across Southend are required to meet. It has been co-produced by pupils, parents and carers.

• ‘Southend SEND: Provision Guidance’. This can be used as a new reference point for schools to check that they are doing all that could be expected to meet the needs of pupils with SEND.

• The co-design extensive process, carried out jointly with parents, carers and pupils, as well as professionals, and which has resulted in the above being produced in line with the Council’s 2050 vision.

• Southend’s review framework which is how we will sample arrrangements and provision for SEND across Southend.

• Southend’s new Local Offer- Live Well Southend.

• ‘POET’ and ’EHCP Hub

• Southend’s SEND Information Report - what does the data tell us?

You will have the opportunity to chat informally, ask questions and contribute further to the co-design process. This event is hosted by the SEN Support Advisory Team at Southend Borough Council. The event will open at 1pm.

We very much look forward to seeing you there!
