During July to September 2020 we’ll be running a series of short webinars aimed specifically at all parents and carers supporting children with additional needs at home. We recognise that in the current environment there have been many changes to the ways in which services are accessed and delivered.

We’ll discuss practical ways of preparing your child for the changes and support you to feel more confident when asking questions and raising concerns and help you to feel more in control of the situation.
