SUMMARY:Better Together - SEND
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity for family carers\, professionals and organisations who support children and young people with SEND 0 – 18 (or up to 25 with an EHCP) to work together to find a positive way forward to improve services and outcomes. \n\n\n\nThe event is jointly hosted by Oxfordshire Parent Carers and supported by the Local Area Partnership which includes Oxfordshire County Council\, Oxford Health\, Oxford University Hospitals Trust and ICB BOB. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect: \n\n\n\n\nThe event will use the ‘World Café style format\, used in previous Better Together events. We will have 9 tables in total: 3 covering Education\, 3 Health and 3 Social Care with different questions covering specific issues on each table.\n\n\n\nThere will be three sessions and participants are invited to sit at 1 table per session or spend time in the networking/interactive feedback area. Each table will have a facilitator\, whose role it will be to help the conversation flow and to prevent any one person dominating. There will also be a scribe to write down all the comments.\n\n\n\nParents will be asked to use this opportunity to talk about issues in general rather than specific personal issues\, whilst we know these are important\, this will not be the place to do this.\n\n\n\nThe aim of the day is for professionals and parents to work on the issues together and come up with practical and possible solutions. We want to keep it as positive and solution focused as possible.\n\n\n\nThe last part of the day will be a ‘panel session’ with professionals from Education\, Health\, and Social Care taking questions from the floor. We will ask them to give feedback on what they have heard and what they will do as a result. This could be one small change that could happen immediately or a ‘takeaway’ from the event.\n\n\n\n\nThere will be an opportunity to network for a further 30 minutes after the panel session from 2 – 2.30pm. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. \n\n\n\nTaking place at the Kassam Stadium\, Oxford OX4 4XP on the 28th March\, 9:30am – 2:30pm. \n\n\n\nAny queries\, please email info@oxpcf.org.uk \n\n\n\n\nBook your place

SUMMARY:UCl research study for minimally verbal & non-speaking children
DESCRIPTION:University College London is investigating why some neurodivergent children have difficulty developing spoken language and how this impacts them.They are asking for parents/carers of 4-12 year olds who are minimally verbal / non-speaking (the child should not use spoken multi-word phrases regularly) to take part in this study. The study would take place in four waves of data collection over three years. This would take up approximately 2 hours of the parent’s time and 40 minutes of the child’s time. You would receive a £25 voucher each time for your trouble.You will be asked to complete online questionnaires and help obtain video footage of your child’s communication skills. There will be one in-person assessment for your child with a researcher either at your home or your child’s school.Any questions? Please email jo.saul.14@ucl.ac.ukYou can register your interest via this link: Register interest in our Study! (ucl.ac.uk)
