ALN support events for parents in Wales
Join us
Our sessions support parents and carers navigating Additional Learning Needs (ALN), including IDPs, EOTAS, school breakdown, attendance pressure, home education and post-16 transitions.
Most sessions are online, so you can join from home wherever you are in Wales. Some local sessions take place in Swansea (SA5).

No pressure to speak. You can join quietly if you prefer.
What to expect
- parent peer support sessions (calm, low-pressure space)
- practical workshops on IDPs, EOTAS, and navigating the system
- programme development sessions shaping future support
- cross-sector briefings connecting education, health and community insight
- local coffee sessions (SA5, Swansea)
Some sessions focus on emotional support. Some focus on practical next steps. Others help shape future delivery.
You can join whichever feels most useful to you right now.

About our community
Our parent carer community began in 2013 and now includes around 960 families across Wales.
Many people join a session unsure what to expect and stay because it feels practical, calm, and genuinely supportive.
Sessions are shaped by real parent experience and reflect what families are actually navigating day to day.
