Navigating Support in School Without an Education Health and Care Plan

Welcome to Navigating support in school without an EHCP.

Join Bristol Parent Carers and Alison Hendy. Alison has spent over 35 years working in education: firstly in primary schools as a SENCO, school leader and Ofsted inspector and currently for Bristol City Council as the team leader for the Inclusive Learning Service. Alison is also the parent of two children, one of whom has autism and ADHD and has considerable experience of working with education settings to ensure the best outcomes for both of her children.

In this session we will explore how schools can support children with SPecial Educational Needs and Disabilities .

This session will not be recorded.

In this session, we will cover:

• How schools identify Special Educational Needs
• What schools can offer if your child does not have an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP)
• Ordinarily available provision and the graduated response
• Questions like: What should be happening and when? Who should I talk to about my concerns and what should I do to support my child? will be answered in the session content.

Places are free, but if you’re able to make a small donation to help us continue offering free sessions to as many families as possible, we’d be incredibly grateful.

*Please note, to attend this session you must live in Bristol (your bin will be collected by Bristol City Council), or your child must attend a school in the Bristol city area. You must also have a child with Special Educational Needs, but they do not need to have a diagnosis.
