Although every effort is made to keep this list up to date, dates may have to be changed or cancelled at short notice.

No appointments are necessary but to save disappointment, callers are asked to telephone the Parent Partnership Help-line (0161 287 8555) or the Family Information Service (0800 731 1518) in the week before the date of the drop-in session, to check for any unpublished changes or cancellations to Drop-In Session dates.

If you have any questions, difficulties or would just like to talk to someone about this service or your child in school, please contact us. We do use a telephone answer machine on our helpline. Just leave your number and your name and we will call you back.
