Janine GriffithsParents and carers of children with SEND are being invited to a free workshop designed to help them prepare for the challenges of the summer holidays.
The SEND Summer Survival Plan, organised by MaiPha, will take place on Tuesday 7 July and will focus on practical ways to manage changes in routine, sensory overload, outings, difficult moments and parent exhaustion during the school break.
Those attending will leave with their own simple Summer Survival Plan to use at home. The workshop will also look at creating realistic routines when school structure stops, preparing for sensory overload and difficult moments, and protecting parents’ energy during the holidays.
The session will run from 11.30am to 1pm in Room 215, Wellington Place, Leeds LS1 4AP. It is free to attend, although places are limited. Children cannot attend due to venue policy.

Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
