Description

SEN Support refers to additional or different help provided to children and young people who have additional needs beyond what is typical to their peers.
This workshop is for parent carers wanting to find out more about extra support available for their child or young person and will be delivered by members of the Bexley Voice team.

Why attend

If you child or young person has additional needs, this free workshop will empower you to have a greater understanding of what SEN (special educational needs) support is, what the SEN Quality First Teaching Toolkit is and how to utilise the toolkit effectively in meetings and give you information on legal rights at SEN support level and the terminology used.

Where are they held? 

The workshops are held online and in person, either during the day or in the evening. 
In person: Danson Youth Centre, Brampton Road, Bexleyheath, DA7 4EZ

Do I need to book?

Yes, spaces are limited. You will need to complete the booking form on our events calendar. 

Although the workshops are provided free of charge, they do require Bexley Voice resources to run (finances and volunteer time), so it is very important that any registered places are taken up. If you know that you cannot attend a session, for which you have registered, we respectfully request that you let us know in advance, so that we can either offer someone else a space or postpone the session. If you need to cancel on the day, due to unforeseen circumstances, please let us know as soon as possible, even if this is after the event. We understand fully that on the day there can be emergencies which mean people cannot attend sessions for which they have registered.
