Family Hubs are a ‘one-stop-shop’ for children and young people aged 0-19 (0-25 with additional needs) and their families and are a new way of bringing together all the support you may need as a family from pregnancy through to young people turning 19 (or 25 if they have a disability). Greenwich Educational Psychology service is pleased to be working with the family hubs to support families with support and advice. We will be running a series of workshops to support in specific areas. Please see below for details of the workshops, dates and how to register. |
