Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Coffee Mornings for parents and carers of children with SEND

Bristol Parent Carer Forum hosts coffee mornings from schools for parent carers of children and young adults that have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
There is no need to book but if you can, that is helpful. Please come along for a chat with our volunteers and other families who “get it”. We are happy to talk through any problems or issues you are facing over a nice cup of tea (or coffee!) and you can find out more information on what support is available locally for your child or a child you care for.
I﻿f you need additional support to access this coffee morning such as support with English or other adjustments, please let us know.
An important role of the Parent Carer Forum is to hear about the experiences of parent carers in Bristol. We would like to hear from you about your experiences with SEND services so that we can be sure that your voice is heard and that we can shape the future of SEND services together.

Starting Reception with SEND: What to Expect and How to Prepare
2026-07-07 19:00 - 20:00 | England
Starting Reception with SEND? Learn what to expect and how to support your child’s transition into school.

Welcome to Starting Reception with SEND: What to Expect and How to Prepare
Join Bristol Parent Carers and Sarah Swann from Bristol Early Years Portage and Inclusion on Tuesday 7th July at 7PM.
Is your child starting Reception this September? Transitions can feel big – new routines, new faces, new expectations. This session is designed to help parent carers feel informed and prepared for the move into school.
This session will be recorded so we can share it with other families afterwards, and so you can revisit it yourself at a later date. Recordings are securely stored and will be available for 60 days.
In this session, we will cover:

What a good transition into Reception should look like
How to share important information about your child
Reasonable adjustments and early support
Practical steps you can take now
Time for questions and shared discussion.

This session is for parent carers of children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities) who are moving into Reception this year.
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 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.

Moving to Year 7 with SEND: What to Expect and How to Prepare
2026-07-08 19:00 - 20:00 | England
Moving to Year 7 with SEND? Learn what to expect and how to help your child prepare for the transition to secondary school.

Welcome to Moving to Year 7 with SEND: What to Expect and How to Prepare.
Join Bristol Parent Carers and Dr Jude Liberman from Bristol Educational Psychology Service on Wednesday 8th July at 7PM.
The move to secondary school is a big step – new building, new routines, new expectations. For children and young people with SEND, that change can feel even bigger.
This session will be recorded so we can share it with other families afterwards, and so you can revisit it yourself at a later date. Recordings are securely stored and will be available for 60 days.
In this session, we will cover:

Children and parent carers common worries about secondary school (eg. organisation, friendships)
What is different about secondary school
How you can help as a parent carer particularly over the summer
How you can expect secondary schools to prepare for your child

We’ll share clear information and allow time for questions, so you come away from the session feeling more prepared.
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 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.
