All Children and Families

Action for Children have teamed up with Royal Mail and The Prince’s Trust to launch their Can’t Talk, Write toolkits. These downloadable work books are full of activities to get young people writing.

There are two toolkits: one for young people aged 11-18 years old and one for adults working with young people. Each toolkit includes printable activities and ideas to get young people writing.

OneEducation’s have launched a new helpline for any parent/carer of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Manchester schools and early years settings. You can have a problem-solving conversation relating to educating your child/young person at home. This might be issues around learning, behaviour, anxiety and mental health needs.

Every Wednesday 2pm-4pm
