Please see the EIFA service poster below for details of how to contact our Education Inclusion Family Advisor.
This term we are offering a few requested evening workshops for families who cannot attend throughout the daytime - please see the January and February workshop posters below.
I am also offering an online drop in where families can email me directly for a short 30 minute appointment. These sessions are helpful for those that would like just a little information and signposting, or just a chat rather than extended sessions.
If you have a Face to Face drop in booked, this will arrive in a separate email.
