Do you and your family feel included and supported during this transition? What could help? \nYour voice matters and can shape the support available for families like yours – help us make sure it’s heard. Our Let’s Talk sessions are interactive\, so we’d appreciate you keeping your camera on (if possible)\, and talking away as much as you’d like! \nAs a thank you for attending and sharing your experiences\, we will send you a £10 voucher. For online sessions\, we will post a voucher to your home address that you provide during Eventbrite booking. You will be asked to re-confirm your home address when you register for the online Zoom session. The Zoom link for this session will be emailed to you by Eventbrite 30 minutes before the session starts. \nIf you cannot make this session but would still like to share your views\, please complete this short survey here. \n*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.

SUMMARY:Hartcliffe & Withywood: Early Listening\, Stronger Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Are you a parent carer in Hartcliffe and Withywood of a child or young person who you think may need more support?\n\n\nJoin Bristol Parent Carers for a relaxed and friendly discussion on Tuesday 15th September between 9.15-10.45am at The Gatehouse Centre in Hartcliffe. \nThis is an opportunity for you to share your experiences\, the challenges you face\, and the support you’d like to see for families in Hartcliffe and Withywood. Our in person sessions are a great way to connect with other parent carers in a welcoming space\, learn more about local services\, and help shape future activities in your community. \nPlaces are free and refreshments will be provided for everyone attending. All views are welcome. \nIn this session we will explore the following questions: \n\nAs a parent of a child with SEND\, what are your biggest challenges as a family in your local area?\n\n\nWhat are the main reasons it is difficult for your family to access SEND support locally?\n\n\nWhat changes would you like to see in local SEND support services that would make you want to use them?\n\n\nWhat would you like to see locally that would make you and your family feel more connected\, informed and empowered?\n\nBristol Parent Carers engage with thousands of parent carers every year through our peer support\, practitioner-led sessions and our annual SEND event. \nThe feedback we hear the most is that parent carers are not listened to early enough. We know there are many reasons for this\, such as school capacity\, budgets\, lack of knowledge and understanding of lived experience. \nThe impact on families is huge\, causing financial issues\, an increase in health conditions for parent carers and the general wellbeing of the whole family. \nThese experiences are exaggerated for parent carers from under-represented groups\, particularly parent carers from areas of high deprivation\, a Global Majority background\, and Gypsy Roma and Traveller groups. \n*Please note\, to attend this session you must live in Hartcliffe or Withywood\, or your child must attend a school in the Hartcliffe and Withywood area. You must also have a child with Special Educational Needs and/or a Disability\, but they do not need to have a diagnosis.
