READY STEADY GO 2026
This was our third annual Ready Steady Go, information sharing event, and it was even bigger and better than the last!
Over 40 services and organisations from the voluntary and community sector attended, providing information, advice and support to parents and carers of children with special needs and disabilities (SEND).
Feedback from parents/carers was really positive:
‘I think it was brilliant!’
‘I found out about the Carers Centre and signed up’.
‘It was a lovely environment and all the information provided by the teams was really helpful’.
‘Understood what different services offer and able to connect with services I didn’t know’.
‘Very helpful! I found services that I didn’t know existed that have been able to help with questions I had.’
Feedback from services was even better as many commented on the positive impact the event had made on referrals and cross agency working.
Everyone commented on how useful it was to have so many services all under one roof!
The refreshments and children’s play area went down a treat, with many families taking the opportunity to share their experiences with one another.
We have already booked the Civic Suite for next year….. Wednesday 16th June 2027 so put the date in your diary!

Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) is a national programme designed to enhance outcomes for neurodiverse children and young people attending mainstream primary schools. This initiative is a collaborative effort between NHS England, the Department for Education, the Department for Health and Social Care, and the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF).
SEND Parents and Carers are supporting the delivery of this programme in 17 schools across the borough.
We are working in collaboration with the NHS and Wandsworth local authority to delver the PINS programme to 17 schools in the borough.

Feedback from all attending was fantastic! Click here to find out more about the 30 plus services that attended the event.

Ready, Steady…Go! Information sharing event for families with children under 5 in Wandsworth
7th November 2024
We recently organised an information sharing event for families with children under 5 to let them know of the numerous services available in Wandsworth. The event was planned with, and part funded by, Wandsworth Council and NHS Health services. Feedback from parents and carers was fantastic and included the following comments:
‘Overall very helpful, learned a lot, very informative.’
‘Amazing! Useful information all in one place. Really pleased to come and get many informative ideas and support. Should do this every year!’
‘Great to have a chance to ask a speech therapist more questions.’
Comments from a Head Teacher and other professionals attending the event were also overwhelmingly positive. However, probably the greatest impact for some families was that having met with professionals, their children were immediately referred for assessment.

We intend to hold the event again next year, so watch this space!
