These events will be happening across in City throughout June 2024. These events have been planned in partnership with schools, settings, community groups, Newcastle Parent/Carer Forum and Newcastle City Council.
The aim is to shine a well-deserved spotlight on our children and young people, their families, services, schools and settings and anyone else that makes a difference to the lived experiences of our children and young people with SEND and their families.
Look out for more details on the Newcastle SEND Local Offer Website and pass-it-on-parents soon.
Competition
The flying penguin logo for our Local Offer was designed by young people with SEND. They felt that it represents children and young people’s ability to do aspirational things and, given the opportunity, reach beyond expectations.
