Parents Meetings Tricia, Rosemary and Maggie met immediately before this meeting to plan for 24 March meeting 7.00 – 9.00 pm at Shipley Library. It needs to be made clear that this is not part of the Special Schools consultation. It is an information and discussion session. Format of meeting 7.00 Introductions and Introductory comments Sheila and Glenn To include – information about the sub group special schools wider issues need to share views 7.10 Presentation Sheila and Glenn To include – principles how we came to this point key points from EPP paper. Action Maggie and Ronnie will prepare this. At this stage we are presenting a small amount of information for people to ask questions. If we can’t answer them then we will take them away. We are not there to answer questions about individual children but will signpost.
We thought about questions that might be asked. What choice will parents have? Will provision and facilities be replicated? Therapies? What about P/T or F/T places? Transport? Is there a policy? Will there be flexibility? How will be provision be accessed? Referral routes? What is going to happen to resourced nurseries? Will all children in special schools/other specialist provision still have a place? What will happen to mainstream children in the community nurseries? We need to be clear about who is answering each area of questions. We need to prepare some information beforehand. Tricia agreed to find out who did Punjabi translation and BSL interpretation at special school consultation meetings. Who will be there? Sheila Rye Glenn Allgood Robin Naylor hopefully Ronnie Hartley hopefully Maggie McDonald Tricia Livesley Rosemary Morgan If any other members of the group can attend to offer support please contact Maggie McDonald 437493. We will meet at Hirst Wood Nursery School at 5.00 on 24 March to ensure that we all know who is covering which areas of questions. We can gain entry to Shipley Library at 6.30. Maggie will buy refreshments.
