SSIF Seminar - Educational Transitions - 23rd June 2025

May 27, 2025

Transitions in Education

SSIF invite ParentCarers of Children with SEND to their final Seminar this year. ‘Transitions,’ is the last in a series of valuable and informative events for ParentCarers that have run throughout the year.


About the Event:


This seminar is aimed at ParentCarers who have a Child or Young Person with SEND, who is approaching a Transition year at school. In this case when we say ‘transition’, we mean things like:

  • Starting nursery or pre-school,
  • Starting primary school,
  • Starting secondary school,
  • Leaving Secondary school.

We also mean any ‘Key Stage’ transitions – for example – the move from Early Years to Key Stage 1, or from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 and so on.


We will also be discussing your role and responsibility as a ParentCarer.

A panel of professionals from the Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) Team and Education will talk about the transition process.  They will also bust some common myths.


We are inviting ParentCarers to submit any questions they have for the panel by email, by Monday 16th June 2025, via email, to jody@southendsendindependentforum.org.uk. This is to save time in the room on the day as our speakers will build their presentations around the answers to these questions.


There will also be an opportunity for people to review a useful visual guide about the Transition process.


Please Note:

Babies, Children and Buggies. For insurance reasons and Health and Safety reasons we apologise but babies, children and buggies cannot be accommodated at these sessions. 


Parking. There is limited parking available at the main Civic Centre Car Park. Other nearby car parks are available at Civic Centre East Car Park SS2 6LR, and the Beecroft Car Park SS2 6EU.


We look forward to seeing you there.

SSIF are members of the National Network of Parent Carers (NNPCF). The Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the government plans to abolish NHS England and bring it into the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the government believe that this will remove a layer of bureaucracy and will eliminate duplication between DHSE and NHSE. NNPCF have delivered a statement in response to the announcement confirming what work they intend to do to represent the voices of ParentCarers and children and young people with SEND.
