For this session, we will be joined by
- The Benefits Advisor from the Enfield Carers Centre team. The Enfield Carers Centre provides important support for family and unpaid carers, including advice, training, wellbeing support and a series of events and support groups (including one for carers of individuals who are Autistic or have Learning Disabilities). We will talk about Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payments (PIP), Carer's Allowance and Universal Credit.
- SENDIASS (SEND Information and Advice Service) - who are one of the most important support services for parent carers, providing individual support and advocacy services. SENDIASS will talk about what support they can provide and will answer individual questions about any issues you are facing. In particular, they will discuss any questions about your options and next steps if your child hasn't been offered a place at their preferred school (following confirmation of school placements for children with EHCPs on 15th February). Please note that a further session on this topic will also take place on Friday, 13th March at the Craig Park Family Hub, with SEN Services and SENDIASS.
Members of the Our Voice team will also be on hand (as is usual at every session) to listen to your questions and issues and point you in the right direction to resolve the issues you are facing. Or you can just take the opportunity to offload a bit and have a chat with other parents who experience some of the same challenges as you, over a cup of tea or coffee.
It would be helpful if you could let us know if you plan to join us using this Eventbrite link.
