To help schools promote Hampshire's SEND Local Offer and Family Information and Services Hub (FISH) consistently, we have provided a selection of ready-made newsletter articles and website text that can be used throughout the academic year.
The content has been designed to make it as easy as possible for schools to share trusted information, advice and support with families. Topics have been carefully selected to align with key points in the school year, including transitions, mental health and wellbeing, SEND support, preparing for adulthood, holiday activities, and family support.
Schools are welcome to use the wording exactly as provided or adapt it to suit their own style, audience and communication channels. The articles can be included in newsletters, parent communication systems, school websites, SEND information reports, social media posts and family support pages.
Regularly sharing information from the Local Offer and FISH helps families become more aware of the support available to them, encourages early access to services, and enables parents and carers to find reliable information independently. This can help reduce the number of routine enquiries received by school staff while supporting more informed conversations between families and schools.
