All parents, carers and family members are welcome
As always, we welcome parents/carers at any stage of their parenting journey, including those who might have older children and wish to share their experiences to offer support. Other close relatives, including grandparents, are welcome to join this event if they would find it helpful.

Accompanied children can join
Children are welcome to join but must be accompanied for the duration by a parent/carer. If you have children (who aren't participating in the discussion) around please don't feel you need to have a private quiet space, as we can mute your microphone unless you are speaking.
