This meeting will focus on Early Years and we are pleased to announce we will be joined by Childcare & Business Consultancy Service CBCS along with a number of organisations who focus on Early Years in Wandsworth.
If your organisation provides services in this area, please do consider attending so that we build a picture of what is available through the voluntary sector. If you know of any organisations that may not be in touch with us, please do encourage them to come along, we want to hear from as many people as possible.
Also on the agenda is Family Safeguarding, a model recently adopted in Wandsworth which focuses on supporting parents and carers with the aim of keeping children safely within their families.
