We had a great turn out of over 100 attendees hearing updates from:

Parent Carers also had the opportunity to ask questions to our panel:

Questions and answers will be added to the site and shared with our membership in the coming weeks.
We also had information stalls from multiple organisations sharing details of services for children with SEND and their families.
