Families are invited once a month into school to listen to a new speaker. The topics are varied and after each session we ask for feedback to ensure we are providing appropriate and valuable information for all our families. The sessions are informal and run by our in house specialists and outside professionals where appropriate. These sessions usually involve approaches, examples and supports for families to listen to, interact with, and ask questions about. 

We also hold an annual Riverside Conference – which is a longer session with a variety of speakers on different topics. Previous topics have focused on Wellbeing, Belonging, Communication and Sensory Needs.
