9 Springs 2023

Aug 9, 2023

A day at Nine Springs in Yeovil was enjoyed by families with lots to see and do. A trip around the park led us past the springs and we saw ducks, fish and ended in the cafe for a milkshake or two. We found painted stones on the trail, even Theo found one, a great place to visit with a lovely park. Well worth a visit Nine Springs Country Park

We will be meeting at the entrance to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary on August 23rd at 10.30 am and look forward to seeing those that can make it.

Jul 6, 2023

Dorset Council are looking for parents or carers of children who have Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) to do some user testing on the Dorset Council website – specifically on the SEND Local Offer web pages.

This will involve you doing 5 simple tasks on the website whilst we observe and talk to you about your experience. The testing will take place online, using a video call. You can use a laptop or smartphone. We also have some in person slots available in Dorchester, or Ferndown. It would only take 45 minutes and we have sessions to select from Tuesday 11 to Friday 21 July.

Hearing from parents and carers is essential to developing the website and making it work for you. You do not need to be ‘digitally savvy!’ we would love to hear from people of all different ages and confidence online.

If you are interested, please sign up as a Dorset user tester today. You can select as many slots as suit you, and testers will receive a £20 high street voucher as a thank you on completion of the user testing.
