Description
Our free workshops provide Bexley Voice members with the opportunity to get information relating to your child or young person's additional need and/or disability. We cover various topics according to parents' needs.
Where are they held?
Our workshops can be online or in person and are held at various venues across Bexley. Please check the location of your particular workshop.
Who can attend?
They are available to Bexley Voice members. If you are not a member, click here to apply to join (free membership is open to parents and carers of children or young people with special needs or disabilities who live in the Bexley borough and/or attend a Bexley borough educational setting).
Can I bring my children?
Parent carer workshops are for adults only.
Do I need to book?
Yes, spaces are limited. You will need to complete the booking form on our events calendar.
Although the workshops are provided free of charge, they do require Bexley Voice resources to run (finances and volunteer time), so it is very important that any registered places are taken up. If you know that you cannot attend a session, for which you have registered, we respectfully request that you let us know in advance, so that we can either offer someone else a space or postpone the session. If you need to cancel on the day, due to unforeseen circumstances, please let us know as soon as possible, even if this is after the event. We understand fully that on the day there can be emergencies which mean people cannot attend sessions for which they have registered.
When are they held?

What do parents say about our workshops?
"BV has been invaluable to the process of educating myself and helping my children. It has signposted, supported and taught me everything I know."
"Bexley Voice is invaluable. With 3 autistic children, I'd be lost without their support and guidance over the years."
"Bexley Voice have been such a help when I was totally confused and unsure how to move forward with my eldest son's needs. The team is so friendly and dedicated and their support is invaluable. The events they run are high quality and extremely helpful. Thank you so much!"
"This course has been a great insight into the demands, structure and lives of PDA children and the carers looking after them."
"The workshops are fantastic as you get to expand your knowledge of different areas and come away informed. You gain much more knowledge coming to a face-to-face workshop than trying to look it up on the internet. Much more sociable too."
