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.
If you have concerns about your child (0 to 5yrs) you can book on to a virtual Chat and Play session. You can have the opportunity to have an informal chat with a specialist about your concerns.
Portage Service – Wednesday 23 February for Kingston parents (dates in Richmond will be posted separately when scheduled)
If your child has delayed development, do you want to know how you can support their learning at home and understand the importance of play? With practical strategies we can support parents to use:

everyday activities in the home to support your child’s development
We can help to empower parents to make informed choices about your child’s development whilst supporting you to feel confident in your own abilities.

The government has broken its own promises and repeatedly missed its own deadlines in trying to deliver their Transforming Care programme. 💔
This scandal must end. 🙅♂️
