Supporting Siblings: Workshop for Parents

February 27, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm

| Free

This workshop is for parents of disabled children who want to know more about supporting siblings.

It will be delivered by Sibs, the UK charity that exists to support people who grow up with or have grown up with a disabled brother or sister.

We aim to help parents of disabled children find ways of giving attention, information, and support to the other children in their families.

What participants will gain:

  • Insight into siblings’ needs and experiences
  • Practical ideas for giving siblings attention, explaining disability and supporting siblings with their feelings
  • Further sources of information

Lunch and refreshments will be provided as part of your booking. Please let us know of any dietary requirements during booking.

Note/Update: This workshop was made possible through funding from the Autism in Schools project but we are now opening it to all parents/carers of children and young people with SEND in Manchester.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
