About Bristol Parent Carers:

This session is part of Bristol Parent Carers’ free programme of information sessions for parent carers of children and young people with SEND or emerging additional needs.

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.

To attend this session for free 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.

When you book, we’ll ask you 3–5 quick questions related to the session topic. For example, if you’re booking an EHCP session, the questions will be about EHCPs.

Your anonymous responses help Bristol Parent Carers and local partners understand families’ experiences, identify common challenges, and improve support and services.
