SEND support event for families in Leicestershire taking place tomorrow

Nearly 40 organisations supporting SEND children and their families are expected to be there.

An event for families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is being held in Glenfield on Thursday (7th September). 

Nearly 40 organisations supporting SEND children and their families are expected to be there.

Cllr Deborah Taylor, cabinet member for children and families, said: "Our SEND local offer roadshows are an important way for us to support the families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Families and carers can find valuable resources, guidance and discover a network of understanding peers.  

“We have received some really positive feedback from previous attendees, so we are hopeful that families coming along will be able to comfortably share their experiences and find a sense of community. "

The event will take place from 6.30-8.30 pm at County Hall, and is open to anyone.

It has been organised by Leicestershire County Council working alongside other local organisations including Leicestershire Music and Menphys.
