For families with children with SEND, in Exmouth and Exeter East constituency. https://www.davidreed.uk/events/send-town-hall

📢 Parents and carers of children with SEND in , I’d like to hear from you.

As discussions continue around changes to SEND provision, I know many families have concerns about how reforms could affect the support their children receive.

On Thursday, 23rd July 2026 at 6:00pm, I’ll be hosting a SEND Town Hall for local parents and carers. The session will focus on key areas of the proposed reforms, while also giving attendees the opportunity to share their experiences of SEND support and services locally.

To help keep the discussion constructive and manageable, spaces will be limited, so please register your interest to be notified once the venue and further details are confirmed.

⚠️ Please note: this event is open to constituents of Exmouth & Exeter East only.
