Dear Colleagues and Partners
On the back of the success of last year’s event we are planning this year’s month long celebration of the achievements of our young people with SEND called ‘Celebrating Bromley SEND Stars’ in November.
We want to remind you of a key event and hopefully prompt you to take part.
Nominations for the Bromley SEND Awards
We would like to hear about the many activities and achievements that have involved children and young people with SEND. We also want to shine some starlight on the families, service providers, carers, school staff or anyone that makes a difference to our SEND children, young people, and families.
Do you know of a child in your school or setting that has gone the extra mile to support SEND in some way, a child with SEND achieving a goal, adults or groups that dedicate time and effort to create positive experiences and possibilities for those with SEND?
Nominate children, young people, friends, family members and professionals in one or more of the following categories by Monday 30th September 2024
Parent/Carer award - We want to hear about you or someone you know and the amazing things they do to benefit their child or young person with SEND
SEND Champion for Inclusion - Tell us about an individual or organisation who have gone the extra mile to promote an inclusive environment or activity for children or young people with SEND
SEND Champion for Peers and Siblings - Tell us about the often unseen but great things that brothers or sisters, friends and peers do to support other children or young people with SEND in the community, at home or at school
SEND Champion in the Workplace - For any professional who has gone that extra mile to champion SEND
SEND Champion in the Community - For an individual, local business, leisure centre or activity provider who has worked to make life better for families with children and young people with SEND
SEND Champion for Employment - For a company or employer who has actively made the workplace an inclusive and welcoming environment for employees with SEND.
Lasting Legacy Award - Awarded to an individual or organisation for their substantial and lasting contributions to improving outcomes for families, children and young people with SEND
Proudest Moment award - Big or small, this is your chance to tell us about the challenges a child or young person with SEND has overcome that fills you with pride and makes you smile.
SEND Star Award - For the individual child or young person with SEND who has blown us all away by achieving something incredible.
We have arranged a panel of judges with representatives from across Bromley.
