GETTING HELP FROM SOCIAL CARE CONFERENCE

If you have a child/young person with SEND and/or disabilities or are a service provider and would like to know more about children’s rights with regards to Children in Needs assessment, short breaks and direct payments then please book onto our conference (booking not open yet).

Reading Families’ Forum is delighted that Luke Clements, Professor of Law at Leeds University, will talk about Children in Need assessments, - what are the thresholds for assessment? and what should be covered in the assessment? - timescales for completion and provision of support. Also, he will be discussing the criteria for accessing short breaks and what direct payments can be used for.

Venue, final programme and booking information will be sent out soon.

Special United event for Reading young people aged 11 - 25 years with additional needs and their siblings.

This was a great opportunity for young people to have their say on what leisure and sports activities they want to see in Reading. Dan Rook from Reading Football Community Trust and Luke Lloyd from Reading Play and Leisure were there to hear young people’s views.
