Cefnogi plant a phobl ifanc anabl sy'n siarad Cymraeg - de Cymru / Supporting Welsh speaking disabled children and young people - south Wales




Supporting Welsh speaking disabled children and young people

An event bringing together professionals, young people and families


 Tuesday,
the 10th of March 2015
9.30am - 1.00pm

Halliwell Centre
University of Wales
Trinity Saint David
Carmarthen
SA31 3EP





Itis estimated that there are thousands of Welsh Speaking children and young people in Wales who have additional learning needs or who are disabled and face challenges with day to day support services, socialising and education. Is this you?
Or are you a professional working with disabled children and young people who speak Welsh.  Are you able to offer a service that is respectful of linguistic choices?
It is brought to our attention frequently at Children in Wales that finding and accessing appropriate services in Welsh for children and young people is often a challenge.

Have you experienced this?

If so, you maybe interested in a seminar that aims to take a look at what supports and good practice exists already in various parts of Wales.

We will also consider what Welsh speaking young people and their families report as being the most challenging experiences from their perspective. 

For the professionals who may not speak Welsh themselves but are working with Welsh speaking children, young people and families, we hope to improve your understanding and knowledge of services that might help you in your work; look at examples of best practice and consider possible solutions to ongoing challenges in the field.
We are very interested in having a wide range of people attend who have an interest in this field as well as welcoming children and young people who would like to share their experiences to better inform professionals.

Please get in touch with us to book your place and let us know if you would like to make a contribution, be a speaker or just come to share practice and experiences. 

We have a limited number of free places for parents, carers, children or young people who are interested in attending.  To request a free place please contact lynne.hill@childreninwales.org.uk

COST:

£40 for members and non-members
