SUMMARY:Discussion Event
DESCRIPTION:As part of the ongoing work to improve services for children and young people who have special educational needs and/or disabilities in Somerset\, regular discussion groups are held.

The sessions will take place online via Microsoft teams. Please register your interest here and we will ensure you are contacted nearer the time with details on the theme for this session. If you have a suggestion of a subject you would like to discuss\, please email us on getinvolved@somersetparentcarerforum.org.uk or call 01458 259384.
