Training opportunities for SEND parents and carers

You don't need to have all the answers. Whether you're new to SEND or looking for support with a specific topic, learning opportunities can help you better understand your child's needs, the support available, and the options open to your family.

Many parents and carers tell us that learning more about SEND helps them feel more confident when talking to professionals, making decisions, and supporting their child through different stages of life. It can also help you feel more prepared for changes and transitions, whether your child is starting school, moving to a new setting, or becoming more independent.

As well as providing practical information and advice, training sessions can be a chance to connect with other parents and carers who share similar experiences. Knowing you're not alone and learning from others can be just as valuable as the information itself.

Here you'll find courses, workshops and events covering a range of SEND topics, helping you build knowledge, gain confidence and find the support that's right for your child and family.
