Southampton City Council is funding the Rose Road Association to provide free disability awareness training sessions for Southampton activity providers or facility providers. Sessions will be co-produced and delivered by parents of young people with disabilities. 

Each two hour session focuses either on General Awareness, Learning Disability or Autism.

Each course is for 15 people and is perfect for mainstream or specialist activity/facility providers who want to better support users with disabilities and understand a parent/carer’s perspective.

If you are a parent who uses a provider who you think might be interested please do pass this information on.
