Are you the parent of a child with Special or Additional Needs?

Would you like to discover what is out there in the way of support for your child and family? To find out who can help and where you can find them?

We are both parents of young people with disabilities and we have received special funding from Norfolk County Council to lead a series of workshops for parents in YOUR area. These workshops were written by parents, for parents and will be delivered by parents.

These are four separate sessions that follow on from each other at Fakenham Children's Day Care Centre, Field Lane, Fakenham NR21 9QR on:

February 3rd, February 24th & March 16th 2012
from 10.00 – 2.30pm

They are FREE and we provide a FREE crèche on site and a nice lunch too of course!

To book a place or for further information please contact Karen karen@bness-solutions.co.uk or text/call Anna on 07732 176088

Warm Home Discount Scheme

Social tariffs are energy rates which suppliers offer at discounted rates to low income and vulnerable groups. The amount of discount and eligibility criteria is completely up to the energy supplier and thus varies between suppliers. This year the government has intervened in an effort to give more protection to these groups, under a new scheme called the Warm Home Discount . Under this scheme, social tariffs will gradually be phased out and instead, two separate, clearly identified groups will be offered a credit of £120 each year, for the next four years, to help with winter electricity costs. See the poster below for full details.

IPSEA's Survey on SEN provision in Academies More and more parents are asking IPSEA about SEN provision in Academies - and some common issues are emerging.

IPSEA has launched a simple survey to gather feedback on this issue.

Please encourage anyone whose child with SEN attends (or will attend) an Academy to share their experience with us via this survey. We will use the data to develop resources and strengthen our lobbying.
