SEND Roadshow
Essex County Council, Strategy and Innovation team as part of the Education Directorate, work towards better engagement and communications with families and young people of Essex who have SEND.
The team run Parent/Carer SEND Roadshows in each quadrant in Essex on a termly basis. These events are an opportunity for families to drop-in (no booking is required) to speak to professionals from a range of organisations including representatives from the SEND Quadrant Teams, Health and social care, as well as SENDIASS, Preparing for Adulthood, the Youth Service and the Multi-Schools Council. We also have local charities/organisations represented including Essex Family Forum and Families in Focus.
The events have grown this term and are running all day. They are taking place in collaboration with SENDIASS who will be running bookable workshops for parents and carers to attend during the day should they wish. Further information about the event and the workshops is given in the attached leaflet and is also available on the following link.
