These include sessions to help you understand more about the law in relation to SEND and Wolverhampton’s local processes. We have received positive feedback from parents and carers who have attended the sessions this year expressing that they have found the sessions helpful and informative.
For the next academic year (September '24) we would like to know what sessions you would like, when and where.
