SEND Preparation for Adulthood Festival

Tuesday 8th October from 10am to 7pm

Floral Pavillion, New Brighton

Please join us at our SEND Preparation for Adulthood Festival that we are holding at the Floral Pavilion on 8th October from 10:00 – 19:00. This event is aimed at SEND young people from age 11 – 25 preparing for adulthood, moving to adult services and planning for their futures. There will be a huge marketplace of relevant stalls covering health and social care, further education, careers and more. As well as this, there will be a sensory room, MENCAP workshops for parent/carers, and presentations taking place in the theatre itself.

 

The marketplace of stalls will be held upstairs on the right-hand side of the Floral Pavilion and will be open from 10am – 7pm. Young people and their families will be able to go round and speak to a wide range of different relevant SEND services, ask lots of questions, and gather information.

 

There are still spaces available on the free MENCAP workshop on the topic of Deputyship and the Court of Protection. This will be held in the Panoramic Lounge, at the top of the Floral Pavilion. Any parent/carers interested, please follow this links for more information and to book your place:
