Information day for Parents and Carers
Unfortunately due to a very poor response to this event it has had to be cancelled which we hate to do but it would not be worth running without enough people attending. This is a real shame as the topics are very important issues which we all need to know about. Apologies to those of you that had wanted to attend but to prevent wasting money and time of those taking part we have had to make this decision.
We have arranged for an Information day to be held on Saturday 5th April 2014 to be held at Melbourne Park Primary and Nursery School, Chelmsford.
Topics to be covered include Statementing by the DSA’s own Leslie Black, and the Mental Capacity Act, all undergoing current changes.
Maxine Holland will also be running a little signers club. This includes the use of Makaton stories and Rhymes.. There will be a creche on hand for the younger children.
More details will be available in due course but please put this date in your diary as we do not want to cancel this due to lack of support. These are very important issues for everyone and the guest speakers are very knowledgeable in these areas and their experience could prove invaluable for the future.
To register your interest or for any other info on this day please email Deidre
