The New World of SEN
On the 26th June, parent / carers and professionals will come together to help design services and improve support for your child (0-25 yrs) with special educational needs / disabilities.
Recent changes to SEN support have been completed and we need you to tell us what is working well and where improvements are needed. Help us work with education, social care and community health professionals to make those improvements matter.
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. Please make sure that you select a time/date from the dropdown box above to choose whether you wish to attend the daytime or evening event.
Topics in each session include:
- How SEN support works in schools
- What changes in Social Care support will mean
- Workshop: Short Breaks Services from 2019
Join parent carers and professionals to help improve services
Hear from parent carers about their work and stay informed

Organised by
Bristol Parent Carers is a friendly group of volunteer parent carers, caring for children and young people (0-25 years) with Special Educational Needs, and Disabilities (SEND) who live in Bristol. Our expanding group comes from all different backgrounds and communities in Bristol.
We offer support and signposting for families across Bristol to that they receive the right support, at the right time, and in the right way. We also work together with local SEND services across Health, Education and Social Care, in order to shape the experiences that services provide for all families in Bristol. It's really important to share your views with us so that we can use your feedback to ensure local services deliver the kind of support local families expect.
