SSIF Coffee Mornings
Irvana Davies • March 4, 2024
Do you have questions or concerns around SEND? Join us at SAVS, Alexandra Street for our friendly monthly coffee morning where we will be able to help.
Each month we invite guests from different sectors such as Health care, Social care, the Local Offer Team, Education and more to answer any questions you have or they can simply offer guidance. We will publish details of guests attending our coffee mornings across our social media platforms.
If you are attending and have a child between 0-5 years old we also have a FREE sensory creche on site run by Chaos & Calm.
We look forward to seeing you.
