After kicking off my Listening Tour at the SEND Family Fun Day at Oasis Academy Mayfield a few days ago, I’m holding a coffee morning later this month for parents and carers of children with SEND to discuss wide-ranging reforms to education.
As I heard when I spent several hours yesterday talking to local parents and carers, there are understandably a variety of feelings about these proposals and the future of SEND education. Many cannot wait for the new system to get going, while others have questions and concerns. As MP but also as a proud SEND parent myself, I know it’s important to listen to the full range of views from the SEND community to get these changes right.
My coffee morning is on Thursday 16 April from 10.30am-12 noon in Bitterne. You’ll need to book your place via this form. Hope to see some of you there.
