Online Workshops
Our online workshops are a valuable opportunity to learn more, gain practical insights, and ask questions in a supportive environment.
We run fortnightly sessions for those responding to a draft EHCP document, to help meet the critical time frame for replies. All other workshops are held monthly – including those for families considering an EHCP application. Scroll down to explore our calendar of additional topic-specific sessions offered at key points throughout the academic year.
