You are likely to want to attend your local meeting, but if the date doesn’t work for you please do attend any of the other meetings. There is no need to book the morning EPHA meeting.
The agenda will include input from the Local Authority concerning a number of key issues, including the SEND Sufficiency Plan and the DfE wraparound childcare proposal, as well as the termly update from Clare Kershaw, Director of Education. The spring term EPHA newsletter will be circulated at the meeting.
Following a break in the morning, Emily Welton, ESSET Professional Officer, will attend the meetings to give an update on the in-reach/outreach proposal to support mainstream schools with SEND.
In the afternoon Jo Barclay will run the termly safeguarding forum meeting – headteachers are very welcome to stay on and attend, and other staff from schools across the area will join the meeting.
There is no longer any need to book your place at the safeguarding forum, but please make sure that you sign the register when you attend.
