Contact a Family staff across the UK have a great deal of experience in giving presentations, and running training workshops for a range of professionals, to help them understand the issues families with disabled children face, the work of Contact a Family as well as on specific topics relating to disability.

We have presented to national conferences such as those organised by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), Dept of Health and Dept for Children, Schools and Families. We regularly provide workshops to student paediatricians and nurses as part of their course curriculum.

We are also happy to give talks at both local and regional events, for example on:

About Contact a Family
The impact of disability and caring on families and how Contact a Family helps.

Rare conditions – common problems
How professionals can support families with the common problems that occur when a child has a rare condition.

Parent participation
How professionals can involve parents in developing services.

Transition
How professionals can help when a child moves to adult services.

Our training and workshops are coordinated by the children’s centre team, please contact them for more information or to discuss your requirements.
