More EDCM Parent Workshops announced
10 free workshops to help parents make every disabled
child matter locally
20 July 2007
Following the success of the first round of parent workshops
hosted by Contact a Family, EDCM are pleased to announce further
parent workshop dates.
The workshops will provide an update on the work of EDCM and
information on how parents can support the campaign and use it to
further their own involvement work. These events will be
informative but relaxed and will look at practical issues that you
might be facing in your participation work.
Parents can join us to meet other parents, share successes and
find out what’s happening in your local area. Professionals are
also welcome to attend the morning session for each workshop.
