SENETA SEND Law Training for Parents
Joanne Southall • November 23, 2023
SEND Law Training Session
On Wednesday the 18th of October parent carers met at the Down Syndrome Cheshire HQ in Northwich to take part in a SEND Law training session.
The training was delivered by Claire Jackson from 'SENETA Ltd.' - Special Educational Needs Expert Training and Advocacy. Claire has 19 years experience in SEND which includes advising parents of children and young people with SEN and representing them at tribunal. The training session covered the process of applying for an EHC assessment to the final EHCP and the legal duty of Local Authorities and education providers and the rights of children, young people and their parents.
