Making sure the voice and needs of Kingston SEND families are heard
Kingston SEND PCF is made up of local parents and carers who work to ensure children with special educational needs and disabilities and their needs are heard and understood by local services and decision makers.
We also make sure parents and carers have access to events and information that they might find useful as a SEND family.
Amazing Things
We love this introduction to autism by amazing things. It aims to raise awareness among young non-autistic audiences, to stimulate understanding and acceptance in future generations. It is intended to be viewed, discussed and shared widely by anyone but especially teachers and parents.

It does rather feel that Consultation is the word of the month at the moment, however here is another important one for you to be aware of. The Department for Work and pensions would like to hear of real life experience receiving PIP. This may effect you yourself or because you need to represent your child.The Timms Review steering group wants to hear from you on the future of Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
The group is co-producing the first ever full review of PIP, with disabled people at its heart.
Today, the group is launching the first step in their inclusive and accessible engagement – a Call for Evidence on a range of issues related to PIP. They will be sharing information on more ways to get involved soon.

Last week the Kingston SEND Parent Carer Forum met to discuss the SEND reforms and how we want to respond to the consultation, listening to local parents and also impacting the SEND Reform plan locally
We identified five key areas we want to discuss and in the next five weeks we will publish five questions that we will ask you to answer
Our priority areas were as follows
What Inclusion Looks Like (When it is expected most young people will be in local mainstream)
Family and School Relationships (Working in coproduction on Individual Support Plan)
Transition to Secondary
Meeting Mental Health Needs
Accessible Environments (For example, how schools look and feel, but also policies like behaviour policies_)
Do you agree with these areas? Do you want to let us know about your additional concerns? You can share here or email help@kingstonpcf.co.uk … See MoreSee Less
