SSIF SEMINAR, Transitions up to the end of school year 8.

Irvana Davies • Apr 15, 2024

SSIF invite PC's (Parent Carers) of Children with SEND to their second Seminar this year. ‘transitions your child will encounter up to end of school year 8’ is the second in a series of valuable an informative events for PCs that will run throughout the year.


This seminar is aimed at PC's of children with SEND up to end of school year 8 who may need information and support regarding the different transitions your child will encounter. In this case when we say ‘transition’, we mean things like:


  • Starting nursery pre pre-school.
  • Starting primary school.
  • Starting 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 have a panel of professionals from the SEND Team, the School Nursing Team and The School Attendance and Inclusion Team. They will talk about how they can support you and your child through their various transitions.


We are inviting PCs to submit any questions they have for the panel by Thursday 9th May 2024, via email.


There will also be an opportunity for people to participate in a co-production session to develop a useful route map/flow chart of the transitions process.
