with Tina Emery and Kath Bromfield, National Network of Parent Carer Forums
How a multi-agency approach can make a difference to a family’s experience. We will look at all the aspects of the SEND system and we will look at how each connect, and the quick wins/silver bullets that can make a difference.
We will also look at the wider benefits of this for the school system.
Aims:
The aim of the session is to have a better understanding of how you can work with families, so there are better outcomes for all.
