A SERIES of forums are being held in St Helens to provide support and information for parents of children with special educational needs.

The aim is to bring parents and carers together to consider issues relating to special educational needs and have the chance to speak to professionals.

This month's forum will be staged in the Town Hall Banqueting Room between 7 and 9pm on Thursday, January 18. Between 6 and 7pm council and voluntary agency representatives will be displaying information.

Other forums will be held on Thursday, May 10 and Thursday, October 11. More information from Wendy Hubbard, the Parent Partnership Co-ordinator on 01744 677368/731113.
