Forthcoming events at SEND CENTRAL include an information session on how parents and carers can support their primary school-aged child when they are experiencing big emotions, with a questions and answer session at the end.

The session will be led by York School Wellbeing Service and will be held on Monday 19 January from 1-2pm.

Drop into the hub at Clifton Children’s Centre for help and support with any SEND queries or visit https://www.yorksend.org/ to see a full timetable of events and activities.

SEND central is the new hub where parents can access support from a range of services. Your child does not need a diagnosis to access this service. There is support for emotional needs in addition to many other things. Attached are posters detailing support available this month.
