Transition Drop in Sessions

As part of LBR’s commitment to Transition in Social Care, from children to adult social services, monthly drop in sessions will be held at Gants Hill Engagement Hub for young people and their parent/carers. The Drop In Sessions will be held on the last Wednesday of every month from 9.30am -12pm. Social Services, Connexions & Redbridge SEN Team will be present alongside RIASS.

The drop in sessions are aimed at young people and their parent/carers who are currently going through the transition process or for those who may be entering this phase within the next couple of years. Please see the attached poster for further details.
