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.

The theme this year is A Community Of Support
The evening will be an opportunity to come together with other parents, charity supporters and professionals, and connect. The evening includes a panel discussion on Parent and Community views on ADHD, followed by a Q&A and drinks.
What to expect
The panel will explore how societal views of ADHD have changed over the last two decades from being relatively unknown to greater awareness of the condition, increased diagnoses and impact of social media.
We will consider the persistent stigma around diagnosis and misinformation and explore the views and feelings of parents on child diagnosis and what a diagnosis can mean for a young person and their family.
The panellists include two of our Ambassadors, Dr Bozhena Zoritch, a Paediatrician and Diagnosing Consultant for the NHS and Dr Jo Steer, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist who heads up the Emotional Health Service at Achieving for Children (AfC). We are also delighted to welcome Ayesha Walker, a teacher and one of ADHD Embrace’s alumni, having been diagnosed as a teen. The session will be led by Annette Wilson, our Chair.
The panel will also welcome questions from attendees during the Q&A and then be followed by some time for networking, refreshments and informal conversations.
Who should attend?
This is a session for parents, carers or close relatives of children with ADHD, pre or post- diagnosis. …
