โณBCP Home to School Transport Consultation -Ends Midday on Wednesday 7th October

The drop-in sessions have ended but if your child or young person accesses or has previously gone to school via public transport, school bus, taxi, they may wish to complete a survey about their experiences. Likewise, if you receive a wear and tear fuel payment for taking them to and from school yourself, you may also wish to share your thoughts on the draft policies BEFORE they are finalised.

Find out more about the consultation and how to access the survey here- https://haveyoursay.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/en-GB/folders/home-to-school-travel

Sharing on behalf of SWRAC. If youโ€™d like to find out more, please contact them directly, details are on the poster.

๐Ÿ’š Could you be the next member of our Bournemouth team?

At SWRAC, we believe education is about so much more than what happens in the classroom.

Itโ€™s about getting to know the person behind the needs, celebrating the small wins, building confidence and helping young people recognise what they can achieve.

Weโ€™re looking for someone who shares that approach to join us as SENCO at our Bournemouth Centre.

If youโ€™re passionate about creating a supportive, person-centred environment where young people with SEND can thrive, weโ€™d love to hear from you.

๐Ÿ‘€ Think this could be you? Take a look at the full vacancy details below and get in touch with our team or apply via the Indeed link below:
