About Us, School Trips Survey & lots of info 22nd July 2017 Dear All Saturday afternoon… and it’s pouring with rain. Must be the school summer holidays?? We’re around all summer and although we won’t write as often, we plan to send two or three themed newsletters, subjects might include: • Keeping Healthy • Preparing for Adulthood • And suggestions please…
SEND Family Voices – About Us We’re a mix of individual parents, plus leads from disability specific support groups and specialist schools; we all offer our time on a voluntary basis and take responsibility for representing the views of a wider group of parents. www.sendfamilyvoices.org/about-us You can find a list of useful, local disability specific support organisations here: www.sendfamilyvoices.org/useful-links
Our Events We work hard to keep families informed by facilitating and supporting involvement events and workshops. Please look at our events page to see what we have coming up (meetings with Educational Psychologists and specialist support workers are this autumns highlights so far). www.sendfamilyvoices.org/events Our events are always well attended and helps us to feed directly into future decision making within the statutory services on our community’s behalf. We look forward to welcoming you – and if you can’t come along please send us an e-mail, text or give us a call. T: 07469 746 145 E: sendfamilyvoices@outlook.com
The Summer Holidays We’re still here. Like a lot of families, most of us will have time off the school run and will perhaps take time off somewhere. However, we’re a team of twenty. If you have a question or query, please call. It may take a little longer than usual, but we will come back to you.
