Find us in the building
Come into the main entrance, where you’ll need to sign in. We’ll be on the ground floor in the Centre’s main area – you’ll see us as you go through.
One of the best things about the Drop Ins is the chance to talk to other parent carers. The Manchester Parent Carer Forum (MPCF) and Manchester Parent Champions will be there to offer support, along with parents from other groups.
We’ll be joined by SEND services for children and young people up to 25. This includes SENDIASS for your education questions. If you are looking for stuff to do in the local area, there’s Short Breaks staff. (Contact the team separately for Short Break Reviews.) Other services that regularly attend include Rodney House Outreach Service, Lifted Carers Centre, Equal Education Chances, the Caribbean & African Health Network (CAHN), About Me, and Phil Samphire, Travel Trainer. We usually have an Educational Psychologist from One Education offering slots.
