About natSIp

TheNatSIP task group meet for three working days between September 2009 and April 2010. September 2009, January and March 2010.
 
The NatSIP reference group will meet three times per year.  The group will oversee the development of the following NatSIP working groups:

a)    Outcomes for children and young people with sensory impairment
b)    Mental health issues for young people with sensory impairment; to promote the well being of young people and their outcomes in education and employment stability
c)    Developing a well trained SI workforce, aligned to the government agenda
d)    Future strategic planning for the National Sensory Impairment Partnership

Alongside these working groups will be the progression and development of other SI projects supporting improved outcomes for children and young people with SI and NatSIP will provide an umbrella organisation for these activities.
 
Membership is open to support services, schools and organisations who agree to work together to improve outcomes for children, young people with sensory impairment and their families.
