Online Resources
Our online resources “A Guide to….” are packed with information and support for parents, especially those at the early stages of finding out about their child’s SEND needs.
The handy online guides are easy to flick through and provide parents with direct links to a range of organisations who may be able to help them, as well as local information through the South Glos local offer.
Please note, the guides themselves are not downloadable. The files here are provided to help you in passing details of these resources to families.
How to share
For each service and our main resource guide we supply
pdf files - ideal for printing for use on display boards or sharing by email
png files - suitable for sharing ideal for class dojo and other school messaging apps, as well as including in a newsletter or as a social media post.
alt text to accompany image files
suggested text for your post
Please note, if sharing the png file you should ensure that your message also includes the direct link. People are often reading on their phones making it tricky to scan the QR code to access the guide
