Join us at the SEND Parent Carer Information Drop in Session

A special event where you will learn more about Soundabout and how we use music, sound, and silence alongside Learning Disabled people with complex support needs. Find out about what sessions you can join and the impact it may have on the people you support.

The event is an opportunity for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their parents, carers, support workers and teachers to prepare themselves for adult life. You will be able to find out about jobs, training, apprenticeships, college courses, voluntary work, leisure activities, finances, support and benefits available in Leeds. Over 70 organisations will be there on the day with support and information.
