Facebook Q&A: Getting Social Care for your Child – Cerebra
Cerebra are holding their first ever live Q&A session over on their Facebook group on 13th July 2022 between 11am and 12pm! The topic for this Q&A, as chosen by you, will be ‘getting social care support for your child in England’.
The Q&A will be in a written format rather than a live video so you can drop in to the session whenever you want. You are welcome to submit your questions before the start of the session and then our team will respond during the 11 – 12 window.
Please note that you must be a member of the Cerebra Parent Group to take part.
