How we can help

Information, advice and support
We offer information, advice and support to parents and carers of children with any special need or disability as well as professionals working with families.

Newsletter
Contact a Family Sutton produces a quarterly newsletter. It offers information on sources of local support, events, topics of interest to families such as benefits, holidays and national organisations. The newsletter is available to both parents and professionals free of charge. To receive your copy phone 020 8640 5525.

Workshops and conferences
We organise workshops for parents. These are an opportunity for parents to come together, boost their confidence and share their experiences. Previous topics have included the needs of siblings, transition, managing stress and challenging behaviour.

Influencing services
We attend meetings at a strategic level in each borough to help influence services for families and to ensure that the needs of parents, carers and children with special needs are represented.
