On behalf of Thomas Pocklington Trust we are hosting a focus group for parents and carers of blind and partially sighted children and young people to share their views on the England government’s proposed SEND reforms.

This is an opportunity to talk about your experiences, what’s working well, and what needs to change, and to help shape Thomas Pocklington Trust’s response to the national consultation. Your insights will play an important role in ensuring that the voices of families of children and young people with vision impairment are heard.

The session will be supportive, informal, and focused on listening. Whether your child is in mainstream or specialist provision, we’d really value your perspective.

Join us to help influence the future of the SEND system.
