  Five years ago Sefton Parent Carer Forum were involved in a Moving Forward event in conjunction with local services. This February we would like to look at the outcomes of that event and how things have changed. The focus will be on the lived experience and our hopes and aspirations for our children and young people with SEND. This is an opportunity for parent carers to talk to representatives from education, social care and health. The four areas we want to look at are –

  The lived experience in the past five years, good and bad

  Where would you like to be in five years time?

  How do we get there?

  How will we know?

   

  Will hope to host an evening session in the Southport end of the borough, details to follow.

• Words of Wisdom film

  Wed 18 Nov 2020

  Bedford Primary was proud to be involved in an initiative as part of Sefton Council’s Borough of Culture 2020 developed by the Windmills Foundation.

  The Words of Wisdom project is an inter-generational initiative to help reduce loneliness and isolation and increase well-being for elderly generations in Sefton and our local communities.

  Three Bedford pupils attended the ‘Never too late’ meeting in St Matthews Church in Bootle in February,  a weekly meeting organised by Sefton Opera. The children interviewed the guest to share their words of wisdom, some of which features in the final cut. To watch the final film go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0uIoPUnIEE&feature=youtu.be
