AN online event aimed to help young people with special needs take their next steps is set to take place.
All next week, Cumbria County Council and local NHS partners are hosting a new online event aimed at young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities aged 11 plus and their families.
The Preparation for Adulthood Virtual Fair builds on the success last year’s fair in Penrith which was attended by over 250 people, but due to COVID-19 restrictions this year the fair is moving online.
The aim of the fair is to help young people and their families get the information they need to help them achieve the best possible outcomes and to maximise their independence, choice and control as they move into adulthood.
The fair website is live at https://cumbria.gov.uk/preparationforadulthood/webinars.asp with details of the programme to help people plan their week.
