** Our next Let’s Talk: SEND in Dorset online event is coming up on 4 June at 12 pm.
------------------------------------------------------------
During this session, we’ll delve into the theme of “School Attendance.” Our event features short introductions from our team, including educational psychologists, NHS Dorset representatives, and SEND team members. There will also be ample time for Q&A, so you can share your thoughts and ask questions.
We recognise that school attendance can pose challenges as each child and family's circumstances will be unique. That’s why we’re creating an open dialogue, a chance for a two-way conversation on this important topic.
