These meetings are a chance to meet with other families in Salford experiencing EBSA and to find out about the support available in Salford. As part of next week’s meeting, we are keen to find out your views on what EBSA is called, and whether the attached Words Have Power document looks useful, or if you have any ideas about making it better.

Information about future meetings:

Monday 13^th May 2024, 10am -12pm at Eccles Gateway: This session will focus on adult wellbeing and strategies you can use to feel calm and support your own wellbeing. The session will be led by an EP and invite you to practice some breathing and trauma informed yoga exercises (which can all be done seated and sat in a chair, you do not need a yoga mat or to have done yoga before).

If you have questions about any of the sessions, please email: EBSA@Salford.gov.uk

Thank you,

SEND Survey for Children and Young People

Salford Parent Carer Forum are working alongside Salford Council and health services to hear the views of young people in relation to Special Educational Needs or Disabilities. Your responses will help us to look at what is working well and where we don’t do so well. We would love to hear your thoughts through this survey.

This survey is open to Salford residents aged 0-25 who have Special Educational Needs or Disabilities.

Please see link below. The survey will be open until mid February 24

Hi all,

There will be a neurodevelopmental in-person drop-in on Wednesday 10th January, 10am-2pm, at Swinton Gateway (https://www.salford.gov.uk/.../gateway.../swinton-gateway/)

Swinton Gateway 100 Chorley Road Swinton M27 6BP

This is an open session, first come first served. You cannot book a slot. Please note due to the busy nature of the surgeries slots are a maximum of 30 minutes long.

These are specifically for parents and carers who have queries relating to a child or young person's possible or actual neurodiversity (for example, autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, Tourette’s, etc).

You should access these sessions if your child is:

· waiting to be referred to the neurodevelopmental pathway

· is on the neurodevelopmental pathway under assessment

· has been turned down for a neurodevelopmental pathway assessment

· has a recent diagnosis (less than 6 months ago)

· has a diagnosis and is experiencing difficulties that relate specifically to their neurodiversity

· you feel your child may have neurodiversity and are unsure of next steps

All virtual slots are taken for this week, but there is a further SIASS in-person drop-in on Friday 12^th January, 10am-2pm, at Swinton Gateway again. This is for all SEND related issues that are NOT to do with neurodiversity.

If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under 4, the Healthy Start scheme can help you:

You need to be claiming certain benefits to qualify.
