Most children will move through pre-school, school and college without any major problems, but some children and young people, may have difficulties in learning. If you have concerns or worries we may be able to help.

How the education system works
-
What early education providers, schools and colleges can do to help your child/young person.
-
What local authorities and other services can do to help your child/young person.
-
Your rights and your child/young persons rights.
We work in partnership with parents, schools, colleges, local authority and other service providers.
Warrington parent and carers
Warrington Parents & Carers Forum is a voluntary group of enthusiastic, dedicated and experienced parents, carers, grandparents and family members of children and young people aged of 0-25 years with disabilities and additional needs.
Our main objective is to listen to families and young people in Warrington to find out what is really important to them. By finding out what is really important to families and the support they need, we can see what is working well and what needs improving and we can then work with the organisations that plan and provide services in Warrington to make the best use of the resources available to improve your lives.

Further support and information
Dyslexia and Discalculia
Where there are concerns about your child having Dyslexia, school can offer a screening on IDL to identify the area of difficulties. Unfortunately we cannot diagnose Dyslexia, but we offer a range of adaptations to support in class . Please take a look at the British Dyslexia Association website for further information.
School can refer to the hospital, where there are concerns around visual stress and tracking. We also promote the use of IDL to support reading and spelling development.
