New: Bristol Support Group
We held our inaugural Bristol Support Group in September 2017. Dr Simon Claridge, Principal Education Psychologist was our guest speaker. He answered parents’ questions and explained how the inclusion service works with schools. One parent commented afterwards: ““Thank you for a really informative and helpful meeting. I learnt so much”.
