📝 About the Session

• What we will be doing: An informal, supportive drop-in session for parents and carers[cite: 2]. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other families, seek guidance on navigating SEND services, and chat directly with local support representatives.
• What to expect (The Vibe): Completely relaxed and low-pressure. You can drop in and leave whenever you need to within the session times—there is no pressure to stay for the whole duration or speak if you aren’t comfortable doing so.
• Who it’s for: Strictly for parents and carers of children with additional needs or disabilities, or those currently waiting for an assessment. Please note that this is an adult-focused session intended to give you a short break and a chance to chat with peers who understand.
• Date & Time: Tuesday 7th July 2026, 12:30pm – 3:00pm.
