Dear Community,

South Tyneside Parent Carer Forum need your help gathering thoughts and experiences on Transitions!

Has your child or young person experienced a transition in the last 12 months? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Effective and successful transitions, from one setting to another and/or from one class to another are crucial to a child/young person’s learning and their wellbeing.

We often hear from parents about poorly handled transitions when information about prior learning or support is not shared at the right time to provide a smooth transition. We know this can have a significant impact on the child and their family.

STPCF are keen to find out about families’ experiences of transition arrangements in South Tyneside and identify what a good transition should look like.

Whilst your response will be anonymous, we will share the findings from this survey with the Local Authority and other agencies, to help inform service improvement in this area.

As a special thank you for your valued time and input, please provide your email address at the end of the survey if you wish to be entered into a draw to win a £20, £30 or £50 voucher!

Dear Community,

Preparations for Christmas are likely to be well underway in most households, with only 38 more sleeps to go until the big day. Christmas can be a very stressful time for children, young people and adults with Autism so I would just like to draw your attention to the National Autistic Society’s website which has lots of useful information and strategies which may help us to cope better during the busy festive period.

I really do hope that you find the links helpful. Just click on the link below for more information.

Take good care.
