Training for parents and carers
Here you will find information on specialist training opportunities which may be available for parents and carers.
Parent carers have told us that they would like information on specialist training opportunities which may be available for them.
We have produced this list of training providers, most of them are run by outside providers and are not provided by the council. We have made every attempt to ensure all information held here is accurate, but we cannot accept any responsibility for third party services. Their inclusion here is for your information only and does not represent endorsement or recommendation by the council.
Some of the courses have a cost associated with them and we have tried to indicate when this is the case, though sometimes they are free depending on your personal circumstances.
