Localities consultation parent meetings

There has been a healthy response to the Locality Model for SEN consultation to date and the attention is being focused on engaging with parents and supporting them to complete the consultation. There are Family Network meetings happening next week which are being hosted by our Lived Experience Expert and we would like to extend the reach to the maximum number of parents.

You will find the links below to four online parental meetings which will take place next week and which have been organised through the Family Networks. It would be much appreciated if all schools could send the meeting links to the parents of children with SEN who attend your school, either who have an EHCP or who are on the SEN register. Parents only need to attend the session of their choice. The content is identical and it will be led by KCC officers to explain the Localities model, encourage parents to complete the consultation and gather questions.

Some schools have come forward and have offered to host a session for parents in their school. If any school is willing to host such a session, it would be much appreciated. However, there is no requirement to do so, especially as this is relatively short notice. However, if schools wish to do so, it is only necessary to invite parents into school, select the link below and facilitate the discussion. This will give parents a channel to ask questions in a familiar space.
