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 may take place in Swansea (SA5) when capacity allows.
Current bookable sessions are managed through Eventbrite so dates, tickets and availability stay up to date in one place.

No pressure to speak. You can join quietly if you prefer.
Events from Q3 2026
After a year of providing free live events for parent carers, Learn Without Limits CIC is moving to a more sustainable events model.
From Q3 2026, live interactive parent-carer advice workshops will usually be low-cost paid sessions, booked through Eventbrite.
This helps us contribute towards the core operating costs of delivering workshops, while continuing to maintain our free information layer through the website, blog and selected open-access resources.
Some programme development sessions, stakeholder briefings and open-access updates may still be offered free where they support our wider iterative development model.
Current bookable sessions will be listed on our Eventbrite page. Booking will normally close 24 hours before each workshop so we can confirm attendance and prepare properly.
Paid parent-carer workshops are live only and recordings are not distributed. If cost is a genuine barrier, families can contact us privately before booking closes.
What to expect
- low-cost practical parent-carer workshops on IDPs, EOTAS, attendance, transitions and navigating the ALN system
- occasional programme development sessions helping shape future Learn Without Limits CIC support
- cross-sector briefings connecting education, health, community insight and lived experience
- parent peer support and local coffee sessions where capacity allows
- calm, low-pressure spaces where you can join quietly if you prefer
Some sessions focus on practical next steps. Others help shape future delivery or share learning from our wider programme.
You can choose the sessions that feel most useful to you, and current bookable sessions will always be listed on Eventbrite.
Connection
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.
