Early Years families can join us for an informal chat at our monthly evening support sessions. You will be welcomed and supported by some of our Early Years team who have a wealth of SEND knowledge and experience.

We recognise that families need help and support in various ways so we facilitate SEND themed workshops and information sessions, especially for our Early Years families, presented by experienced and knowledgeable workshop leaders.

Details of these are available in our events page.

Drop in to our Community Base in Kingswood, where some of our Early Years team will be there to welcome you and offer support and information. Your little ones are welcome to join you and we have a wonderful sensory space for them to explore.

Drop in to our Community Base in Kingswood where you will be welcomed by other parent carers and of course, our Community Support team who have a wealth of SEND knowledge and experience. They can:

• share information and strategies

• signpost you to services

• provide a listening ear over a cuppa

We also hold other information events and activities at our Community Base. See our events page for all our upcoming dates.

We also have a sensory room which can be accessed by adults and children during the session. If you think this would be of interest to you, please contact us before attending to check availability.

SAFETY If you or your child has a contagious illness please do not attend.

Our evening support group is an online Zoom event where you can connect with other parent carers and share a chat over a cuppa, from the comfort of your own home. These sessions are hosted by our knowledgeable and experienced SGPC team who are parent carers too.

We have all had those moments when we feel we have barely survived the demands of the week, or we are burning to celebrate a moment in our child’s progress that others just wouldn’t understand – you’re not alone.

Our sessions are a safe space to ask questions, unload, laugh, cry, and chat, in a place where you know your life experiences are understood, and where tips and strategies can be shared.

New to 2022 we are excited to be extending our team of Parent Carers by visiting you within schools or out in the community.

More details due soon

Is your child awaiting an Autism Assessment in Bristol, North Somerset or South Gloucestershire?

We know that families are waiting a long time before they are offered an appointment. So we are delighted to be able to offer our workshops to those families so they can get some help whilst they are waiting.

For the first time Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Parent Carer forums have teamed together and are delivering specific workshops to provide information, support and practical guidance.

A combination of professional expertise, knowledge and the lived experience of parenting a SEND child is at the basis of each workshop.

We will be running workshops both online and in-person. Our face-to-face workshops will focus on introductions to four themes, Anxiety, Behaviour, Sensory Differences and Communication.

Our online sessions will cover a variety of themes based on feedback we receive from families.
