Parents Evening – for specialist 16+ colleges This event is the first to be held to promote our local Further Education (FE) colleges to families of children and young people with Special Education Needs and/or Disability. Please do come along if you can – we want as many families as possible to benefit! The colleges will give you a flavour of how their vocational pathway programmes can help young people move on to successful adult destinations. Tuesday 12th December – 7pm to 8.30pm Langdon Down Centre, Teddington, TW11 9PS For any immediate questions, please contact Prisca on: prisca@sendfamilyvoices.org
SEND Forum with MPs - meeting Follow up Thank you to everyone to attended and contributed to the MP meeting held last Friday 1st December. We are finalising the minutes and the report from the meeting and hope that we will be able to make this available to the MPs and to everyone who attended in the next week or so. It is taking a little time to collate some additional information, to agree some actions coming out of the meeting and also to ensure that we have permission to use information that is contained in the report. Once we have everything finalised we will send it out. We also have a follow up meeting this Friday (15th December) with Zac Goldsmith MP to update him on the meeting and to understand what support he can offer us as we try to improve the situation for families of children and young people with SEND. We hope you will bear with us as we pull everything together - but if you have any specific questions or contributions in the meantime please contact: Penny Penny@sendfamilyvoices.org

The best disabled toilet in Kingston. But which one is it…? Last week 2 of our steering group met with Sir Ed Davey, Kingston MP and with the management of the Bentalls Centre to discuss the provision of fully accessible toilets in Kingston. We investigated and discussed a number of potential sites for Changing Places style toilets in Kingston town centre and believe that we have some possible locations to target. We will keep you posted as more concrete plans form. In the meantime, we have some good news for Christmas shoppers.
