Has your child accessed any short breaks provision such as: Brandon Trust, Special Friends Club, FACE, WECIL, Sense etc. over the last five years?

Updates from the parent carer engagement events in July 2024 to share the latest developments to the Neurodiversity Transformation Project.

The Department for Education (DfE) has published new guidance which will become effective across England from August 2024.

Your voice is so important – it can bring about change to local services which work for children and young people with SEND and their families.

We are thrilled to announce that Lansdown Golf Club in Bath will be fundraising for SGPC at their annual Captain’s Charity Day Open on 9th August 2024.

The Neurodiversity Transformation Project was born out of changes across Health since last March 2023. The transformation project was created to co-ordinate this review and is led by the ICB and co-chaired by the three Parent Carer Forums (PCF) across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG).

Our Little Treasures groups had some extra party magic at their groups as part of our 15 year celebrations.

Forty primary schools across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire will be part of a new Project called “Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools” or PINS for short, 13 of these schools are in South Gloucestershire.

The inspectors will select up to 6 children and young people with SEND to be involved in Tracking Meetings. Tracking meetings are an opportunity for inspectors to hear directly about children and young people’s experiences and outcomes.

The only people able to say how SEND services are working across South Gloucestershire are those who experience it every day! When the inspection starts in South Gloucestershire, OFSTED and the CQC will want to hear your feedback, which they will use to direct their areas of enquiry with the local authority.
