Build practical communication skills and confidence for meetings with professionals

This interactive training is designed to give parent carers the confidence and tools they need to communicate effectively with professionals. We will share practical tips and real-life examples to help you prepare for meetings and be assertive in challenging conversations.

By the end of the session, you’ll have:

• Clear strategies for confident, solution-focused communication
• A mini toolkit of templates and resources to use in meetings
• Greater confidence when speaking up for your child

Whether you’re new to navigating SEND systems or looking to strengthen your existing skills, this session will help you feel more prepared, empowered, and heard.
