Our parent workshops will continue to run this academic year, with the first focusing on sensory needs, following this being cancelled in the Summer Term.
Future sessions will be shaped by your feedback and what you would like covered, and can include external guest speakers as well. For the last hour of each workshop our highly experienced Educational Psychologist, Dr Tina Axup, will be joining us to provide expert advice and support, and answer your questions.
The aim of these forums are to be a protected, positive and non-judgement space where we can share stories and speak generally about our children. You can share as much or as little as you wish but individual situations will not be discussed in depth to ensure we provide balance and meet the holistic needs of the group.
