EVENT: Children's Disabilities Teams - A Practical Guide to their Services

Are you a Parent or do you care for a child or young person who has a disability and/or special educational needs aged 0-18yrs?

Navigating your way around ‘the system’ can be very daunting and confusing for parents and carers. Children and young people whose needs are more complex or significant may well require extra help and support from a social worker or occupational therapist based within the Children’s Disability Teams (CDTs).

Following an event we held in June, parents and carers told us they wanted more information to help them better understand who is eligible for a service from the CDTs, the role of the Social Worker, the assessment process, how a family’s needs are identified and what services and support is available (eg. direct payments, overnight ‘respite’).

This event aims to provide a practical guide to the CDTs, an opportunity to share your experiences with the Head of Service and to meet other parents and carers. Do come along and find out more!
