Support for Parents and Carers

SEND information for parents can sometimes be very hard to find or difficult to access. To help our parents/carers at St. Luke’s, we have bought together local and national support agencies who provide additional information, advice and support for SEND needs. The Telford and Wrekin SEND team have their own SEND Newsletter which can be accessed via the link below. Each edition provides information about SEND across the borough including workshops, events and new online services that can help families.
