29 April An Introduction to Childcare Works for Wraparound Leads and Officers – LA Webinar

Date: 29/04/2024
Time: 10:00 - 11:30
Location: Online

We are aware LAs are busy recruiting people into post for Wraparound and many of new colleagues may not have had the opportunity to hear about Childcare Works support, access to resources and how to contact us. We also know there is an appetite for making connections with other Wraparound leads and teams, and an opportunity to ask questions, seek clarification and let us know what support might be useful. We are inviting anyone working for a local authority that would benefit from attending to book a place. The meeting will be informal (no agenda) and we would love to see as many colleagues as possible attending.
