We're at Woodhouse Park Lifestyle Centre in Wythenshawe for our next face to face Drop In. This is for parent carers and young people living in the city of Manchester. It's on Wednesday 8th February, 10am to 12 noon. We know you might feel unsure, especially if you haven't been to a drop in before, but you'll get a warm welcome. You can have a brew and a chat to see how we can support you.

Which services will be there?

We'll be joined by a growing number of services around special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) for children and young people up to 25. This includes SENDIASS for your education questions. If you are looking for stuff to do in the local area, Short Breaks staff will be on hand. (Please note, staff don't do Short Break Reviews at the drop ins - contact the team separately about this.) Other services that regularly attend include Rodney House Outreach Service, Lifted Carers Centre, Equal Education Chances, the Caribbean & African Health Network (CAHN), About Me, and Phil Samphire, Travel Trainer. We usually have an Educational Psychologist from One Education offering slots.  

Talk to other parents & carers One of the best things about the drop ins is the chance to talk to other parent carers. The Manchester Parent Carer Forum (MPCF) and Manchester Parent Champions will be there to answer your questions and offer support. There will also be parents from The SPACE group.

Future dates 

Wednesday 8th March, Manchester College, Openshaw Campus
