At our most recent Have Your Say and Play event, families were asking about other places they can take their children for SEND exclusive Sessions. A lot of families tell us that what we are offering is a unique experience where you can feel more relaxed – everyone at the session understands your child’s behaviour and the Parent Carer Forum is there to listen to them. Our free monthly event is our chance to meet parents from Kingston and educated locally and talk to them about matters that affect them. Everyone on the Parent Carer Forum Committee is a SEND parent too and it is very affirming experience to be around parents who just get it and so here is a list of places that run SEND children sessions (some have costs attached)
