SEND Information from Mrs. O’Reilly:

NORTHUMBERLAND’S GUIDE TO SEND SUPPORT BY PARENT CARERS FOR PARENT CARERS: THE RAINBOW GUIDE

As your school’s SENDCo, I wanted to share a resource that many of our families have found incredibly helpful — the Rainbow Guide, created by the Northumberland Parent Carer Forum (NPCF).  NPCF Northumberland Rainbow Guide

This guide has been written by parent carers, for parent carers, and it’s designed with one purpose in mind: to help you feel supported, informed, and less alone. I know that navigating your child’s needs can sometimes feel overwhelming,       especially when you’re trying to understand new processes or access the right support. Please know that you’re not expected to do it all on your own — and you don’t have to.

NPCF is a warm and welcoming community made up of parent carers, local groups, professionals, and organisations across Northumberland who all share a commitment to supporting families of children with SEND. Their Rainbow Guide brings together clear, accessible information about what help is available, where to find it, and who you can talk to. It acts as a friendly hand to hold during times that may feel uncertain.

I often describe NPCF as both a source of practical advice and a place where families feel understood. They offer opportunities to connect with other parents, learn more about services, and have your voice heard in shaping support across the county.

I hope you find the Rainbow Guide reassuring and useful, and please remember that you are never alone on this journey. NPCF, our school, and many others across Northumberland are here to walk alongside you and your child.

The digital world is vast, exciting and forever evolving at such a pace that parents often find it hard to keep up. Our children have never known life before the online world and are getting more and more tech savvy at an
earlier age. This causes many of us anxiety because we are not experts, we have not grown up in the age of online technology and we have not had childhood experience to draw upon when providing guidance for
our own children.

However, the digital world doesn’t have to be considered a place of worry for parents; in fact, it can be embraced as a tool for building a better future for us all.

2Simple have put together this free, informative guide to help support you in enabling your child to grow into a responsible digital citizen who is able to keep themselves safe while, at the same time, getting the very best from
the digital world. This booklet expands and explains the work that the children will be doing in school.

In this guide, you will find tips and advice for each of the key areas of online safety for primary-aged children. Each of these areas is further broken down into tips for parents of children aged 5 to 7 and for those of children
aged 7 to 11.
