Workshops for parents and carers
‘I am pushing things more for my daughter so she can get what she needs at school, so she can participate.’
Our workshops help parents and carers:
- meet other parents and carers
- explore ideas and opportunities around support
- find out practical information, resources and information on who to ask
- increase their confidence to ask for the support they need
in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Workshops are free and run from 10.30am to 12.30 or 1pm, with lunch afterwards. Refreshments and lunch are provided.
