please see attached leaflet
My name is Catherine Briars – I manage Parents in Mind, a MH peer support service for mums across Halton who are pregnant and/or have a child under two years, and are in need some low intensity support with their mental/emotional health and wellbeing. We operate from Children’s Centres across Halton – it would be brilliant to try and get the word out to schools that our service exists so that we can support more local parents who would benefit from a weekly opportunity to talk and feel supported by other Halton mums, who themselves have lived experience of difficulties at this time in their own lives, and are passionate about making a difference.

Through this review we want to achieve the following for young people with SEND aged 0-25 years:
- Detailed understanding of our SEND population
- Detailed understanding of our special school population and pupil profile
- Detailed understanding of our future needs and profiles of specialist provision to meet that need
- Detailed understanding of future post 16 needs and opportunities to improve provision and capacity in our local communities
- Detailed understanding of the views of all stakeholders in terms of existing strengths and opportunities to improve high needs provision
- Detailed understanding of perceived barriers to inclusion in mainstream schools and colleges with recommendations for potential solutions
- Detailed understanding of the total level of resources available and how to effectively target these to meet need
- Detailed understanding of potential challenges, sensitivities and conflicts of interest, together with potential solutions to these.
They will be attending a number of key strategic groups and meeting some schools, and other partners as well as parent and carer representatives.
