SEND Parent Champion

Confidential monthly support and advice for families

As a school we want to play a role in improving SEND services for our children and young people. We now have an opportunity to provide a confidential space here in school for families of children with SEND through a new Parent Champion project delivered and funded by SENDiass4BCP and Parent Carers Together. 

Each month a dedicated Parent Champion will hold one session to support families in navigating appropriate local and national services and networks to meet the needs of their children. Time slots will be allocated to individual families on a first come first served basis and are held in confidence during the school day. To enable us to plan ahead for these sessions we are asking parent/carers to email an expression of interest to parentchampion@cjsdorset.org (this address is monitored by the school, on behalf of the parent champion.) Once we have confirmed dates for the sessions to run, we will offer a meeting date and time to all those who have shown an interest. 

If you are experiencing difficulties and are unsure where to access the support and resources you need please do get in touch and confirm your interest in writing. The role of the Parent Champion is to listen and to share knowledge of the services and the networks in your local community that may be of help to you. This is a valuable resource we are so pleased to be part of. Together we can improve services and support for families across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
