As part of the Parent Empowerment Project, these monthly drop-in sessions offer a chance to meet an advocate from Social Inclusion Recovery Group (SIRG) for support in navigating your child’s education journey.
Support includes:
- school applications, admissions, and exclusions,
- SEN provision and referrals,
- appeals and complaints processes,
- signposting to Family Hub and wider borough services,
- raising awareness of the support available to Global Majority families.
To access support, visit the Downham Family Hub at Downderry Primary School between 10 am and 4 pm on one of the available dates:
28th November 2025
26th March 2026
The Parent Drop-ins take place every month at various Family Hubs in Lewisham. Visit the PEP's organiser profile for more upcoming events.
