SUN is a networking group looking at issues affecting children with special educational needs and their families.
The network provides an opportunity for parents, carers, voluntary groups and agencies - such as education, social care and health - to get together and help to make a real difference to the quality of services and people's lives in the community.
SUN will:
-
look at good practice
-
look at what parents really want or need
-
provide a forum for consultation
-
help professionals and parents exchange information
-
provide agencies with a better understanding of children with additional needs and their families
The SUN network groups have been rolled out across Staffordshire. Current active network groups are Cannock and Lichfield| and South Staffordshire| (Wombourne, Perton, Codsall area), Central Staffordshire|, East Staffordshire| and North Staffordshire|. A county get together is organised annually. Please check the website for forthcoming dates. We would be delighted to see you at the meetings.
If you would be interested in joining the network, attending an event or would just like further information, then please contact the SUN Co-ordinator, Marie Wood on 01785 356921 or email Marie at sun@staffordshire.gov.uk|
