SEND sessions for parents and carers
The Buckinghamshire SEND Team are excited to invite you to attend in-person or online SEND sessions.
Drop-in sessions
There are two in-person drop-in sessions available to attend in partnership with the Family Hub Network.
These events offer a wonderful opportunity for parents and carers of children or young people with SEND to network, support each other, and engage with local area services.
Discover the support available for you and your child with SEND. Meet local services, ask questions, and explore what’s on offer.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Little ones are welcome to come along. No booking required.
