Building Confidence and Reducing Anxiety in Cleft Care Webinar
This event is for adults born with a cleft lip and/or palate in the United Kingdom.
Help shape the future of CLAPA’s events for adults
We welcome along all adults born with a cleft to work alongside CLAPA volunteers and CLAPA Staff to help shape how we develop our online events for adults in the future. Come along and share your experiences, thoughts and ideas and connect with other adults born with a cleft.
We want to ensure that the online events we are running are meeting the needs and wants of our CLAPA Community and we need your help to make this happen. We’re open to feedback on our content, format, timing, frequency and how we advertise, as well as discussing whether you would like more clinicians to join and what we should call these events.
We’d love for this event to fully represent all adults born with a cleft and therefore encourage everyone of all different backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles and those with different access needs and lived experiences to join this event.

Follow the rules
Read the 'Ground Rules' below before registering. A CLAPA staff member or volunteer will contact you directly if you breach any of these rules. If you repeatedly breach these rules, we will remove you and you will not be able to attend any future CLAPA events.
Ground rules for online events
Cleft Lip and Palate Action (CLAPA) is committed to ensuring our online events are safe spaces where everyone feels comfortable sharing their experiences and asking questions. We ask everyone attending to read and follow these ground rules.
We ask that everyone is respectful of others’ feelings, views and opinions.
We’re here to listen, share our experiences, ask questions, gain information, and support each other so that everyone leaves the session having had a positive experience.
The format we follow for events ensures there is time to ask questions and share your own experiences and feelings.
Please allow everyone to take their turn and be mindful of sharing the space and time available so that everyone who wants to contribute can do so.
We recognise not everyone feels comfortable contributing to discussions and there is no pressure to do so.
During this session, participants’ cameras and microphones will be switched off. If you would like to share information, please use the chat function.
It’s okay if you need to attend to other duties (children, pets, etc.) during the event.
