About this event
This event is for parent carers and professionals all across North Somerset on special educational needs and disabilities.

We are North Somerset Parent Carers Working Together (NSPCWT), the local parent carer forum. We aim to improve the service, provision and quality of life for children and young people with disabilities and additional needs by being the collective voice of parent carers and a strategic partner for the Local Authority, Education and Health.
We facilitate fully funded training and offer regular coffee meet ups either in settings or at a general location such as our base at The Firs in Weston-Super-Mare plus wherever possible, we provide wellbeing opportunities for our community.
The majority of our team are Parent Carers and have walked a similar path to you. We are each still on our journey and are learning and evolving as we go. Our passion comes from our hearts and we strive to make change, bring together a much-needed community and offer support plus many cups of tea.
Please note that all scheduling is subject to change. Please see our brochure for the day, where you will be able to see everything that is on offer, including timetables for the day, map of the building and stall holders in the marketplace.
During this event, you must sign in at the Winter Gardens main reception located just off the front of the sea front. Once you have signed in, you can come and go as you please! You may want to catch some training in the morning, then pop back for a chat with stall holders in the afternoon, it's totally flexible to fit around your family or work commitments! We don't want anyone to miss a thing, which is why all our training is doubled up during the day so you don't have to sacrifice anything you want to attend.
Toilets are available on site, and there is a local cafe located round the back of the Wintergardens should you wish to make a day of it!
If you have any further questions and would like more details, or if you would like to get involved at all in the event, please email danielle@nspcwt.org
