Testimonies:
Gravel Hill Primary School in Bexley
"Bexley Voice held a really informative parent workshop in our school. It was great to hear about the work Bexley Voice do, although I was aware of the brilliant support they offer for parents and carers in Bexley, I wasn't aware of many of the services they offered, and it was very useful for our parents to hear. Their passion and expertise really shines through when they talk about the work they do and I wish more parents were aware of what they offer. I will continue to signpost them in my daily work but also share what they can offer with colleagues to get the word out there more." Gemma Smith - SENCo Gravel Hill
Parkway Primary School in Bexley
The meeting was very informative and was presented in a relaxed, welcoming, parent-friendly manner. It was great that parents were given an overview of the work of Bexley Voice and the support than can be offered to parents through workshops, e-bulletins, my guides, engagement groups, tea and talk sessions and Facebook to name but a few.
Parents were given the opportunity to talk about their own experiences and share concerns and strategies that work for them. Parental feedback was very positive. One parent commented: “I don’t feel so alone now. The whole SEND system can be really daunting and it’s so nice to know that other parents are going through the same things as me. I now know where I can get extra help and support. Thank you."
