Special Educational Needs (SEND) Parent Champions have been supporting families in school settings and in the community since 2022. Recently the project managed by SENDiass4BCP and Parent Carers Together has been given the green light from BCP to continue with the very much needed roles on a permanent basis. Parent Champions currently deliver sessions in 22 schools across BCP. Feedback from families who have accessed the service has been a unanimous 5* rating with an overwhelming appreciation for the signposting and the confidential listening space the volunteers provide. Schools have also been brilliant in providing a safe space for the sessions to run. They value the volunteers experience and knowledge and the time they give to their school community. Working collaboratively enables SENDiass to keep improving our service and promotes the best outcomes for children and young people with additional needs. Information about schools providing a safe space for Parent Champion sessions can be found on the SENDiass website: sendiass4bcp.org If you are interested in providing a safe space for a Parent Champion to deliver a session in your school or you would like to know more about the role of a Parent Champion please contact Alexia via email at alexia.tough@bcpcouncil.gov.uk
