The SEND Local Offer Drop-ins are a great way for parents & carers of children or young people with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) to find relevant information and support. Friendly and informal, please feel free to share your stories and ask questions.

This month’s session will be held in South Manchester, at Wythenshawe Forum in Wythenshawe.

The drop-ins are usually attended by the following organisations, subject to their availability:

• Manchester Parent Carer Forum

  We’ll be on hand to listen to your stories and questions. We will try to help and signpost you to the relevant services and organisations who may be able to give you expert advice and support.

• Local Offer Engagement Team

  Manchester City Council’s Local Offer team organises and hosts these drop-ins. You can talk to them about what’s going on in and around Manchester, including how to find important SEND information via the Local Offer.
