Special education needs workshop hosted by Young Epilepsy

National charity Young Epilepsy hosted a workshop about special educational needs funding.

 The one-hour workshop, which was part of a half-day Open Day at the charity’s headquarters, took place on Wednesday 14 March.

 The workshop was open to anyone that cares for a child with special needs. Delegates had the opportunity to learn more about tribunals, which rule on disputes between parents and local authorities about young people’s education.

 Parents and carers also had the chance to hear about the experiences other people have had in securing funding for their child’s special educational needs, something that affects around 3 per cent of all school children.
