Moving Forward

Adults and young people with SEND or a learning disability are invited to Moving Forward, an education, employment, health, and community support information event. The free event will showcase services and employers across the city who support adults and young people with SEND or a learning disability.

Young people aged 14-24, along with their parents and carers, are invited to find out about opportunities available as they transition to adulthood. Information will be available on employability, health, independent living and community inclusion.

Adults, carers and professionals are invited to find out more about services in Portsmouth for people with a learning disability.

There’s no need to book – just drop-in to the Victory Suite, Fratton Park, on Wednesday 15 March between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Does public transport work for people with access needs?

They have created this survey for transport users

No EHCp but needs not being met (struggling) Case study

Does your child or young person have a special educational need but no EHCP?

Are they struggling in their educational provision, and are their needs not being met?

If this sounds familiar, please complete the NNPCF case study: https://bit.ly/NNPCFnoEHCPcasestudy

Case studies help to inform our narrative and are invaluable to help prove the experiences of parent carers.
