The aim of the workshop is to support families who are encountering difficulties in relation to the provision of health, social care and education support services. The workshop isn’t about giving legal advice or solving individual issues, but about general strategies that parents can use to get the services that they need for their child and family. This session is aimed at up skilling you to make stronger cases and to challenge decisions when dealing with statutory bodies. By the end of Cerebra’s workshop, you will be able to:

• Identify commonly occurring problems facing families accessing services and recognise different types of dispute
• Come up with problem-solving approaches to these problems
• Use a number of template letters when corresponding with public bodies

The workshop includes working on case studies relating to direct payments, respite care, Disabled Facilities Grants, residential placements and school transport.

Free parking is available on-site. No smoking of tobacco on-site.

It is imperative that you pre-book for this workshop ASAP, as without sufficient interest the session will unfortunately need to be cancelled.
