The event will take place between 10am and 1pm at the Congregational Church on the High Street and Cllr Deborah Taylor, county council lead member for children and families said: “Local Offer Roadshows are a great way for families and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities to find out about the support a wide variety of organisations offer.

“The roadshows also give families the opportunity to network and offer support to each other, as well as chat first-hand to professionals”.
