Parent Carer Conference – Sat 23 Mar 2024 Booking Now Closed

Conferences

Each year, Family Voice Norfolk holds a Conference where families can find out about all things to do with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

It’s also an opportunity for us to hear from families and for families to talk face-to-face with key managers from the local authority, health services and providers.

The Conference gets bigger and more popular each year.
