Annual Report, Have Your Say & Tweets 14th October 2017 Dear All Have Your Say… dates for your diaries, reminders and please note the date change for the SEND Forum with the local MPs.
What we’ve been up to… Annual Reports are something like a labour of love… and it does make it you look at what has happened over the last year. SEND Family Voices Trustees have just published the FY 2016/2017 Annual Report – which details our activities up to end of March 2017. We might have to start writing FY 17/18 now… You can find our full report by following the link below. For now, this is our current focus for FY 2017/18. We’d welcome your thoughts.
FY 2017/2018 Our goals and aspirations are to change the world for the families that have young people with special needs but in the meantime, here are a few key things that we’re planning to focus on for the coming year: • Continue to try to improve the way that EHCPs and Reviews are handled • Focus on the offer for post 16 – which is developing but is problematic for many young people, their parents or carers. • Continue to challenge and improve services; Short Breaks, Respite and CAMHS (CAMHS = mental health services for children and young people) • Use our surplus resources to develop support for families • Continue to develop our reach to be even more representative through improved website and social media and a continuing programme of open meetings and information events Full Trustees Report here: http://www.sendfamilyvoices.org/annual-reports/
Have Your Say… #1 Talk Educational Psychology - last chance ! There is one more focus group with the Educational Psychology Service; an opportunity to influence a service our children need. Achieving for Children's Educational Psychology Service (AfC EPS) are front line workers with our children, young people and the schools. They are highly trained professionals and they want to understand how parents experience EPS, and then improve their services where needed. The final focus group is: Monday 16th October - 7pm to 9pm Doubletree Hilton, 1 Skerne Rd, Kingston, KT2 5FJ Parking at Seven Kings, Skerne Road, Kingston, KT2 5AD
