Events for offer-holders

Parents and carers event

We will be hosting a dedicated session for parents/carers and supporters in 2021.

In December 2020 we held an event where parents/carers and supporters asked questions they had about the Manchester offer. If your parents/carers missed this, or want to attend again, we will be hosting a second session in 2021.  

Once details have been confirmed, we will send you booking details via email, which you can pass on to your parents/carers and supporters.
