SEND inclusive sessions

Our new SEND Inclusive sessions are changing dates!

The session for families with Special Education Needs and Disabilities, which is open for all parents, carers and their children, will take place at Keighley Library on the first Wednesday of every month from 3.30pm to 4.30pm.

The session will be available for families to access large print braille picture books, magazines, bag books, touch and feel books, talking books, sensory toys, comic books and much much more.

A survey of families with children with additional needs carried out via a partnership between Carers Resource - a regional charity, Bradford Libraries and Bradford Council’s Prevention & Early Help Service, found that parents were interested in attending a session where they could relax with their children and support them to have a love of books without worrying about a formal environment.

Support for parent/carers from AWARE and the Children’s Trust Family Hub will also be available at the sessions starting Wednesday, 6 September.

There’s no need to book, just turn up on the day.
