💬 You Said
The sessions are not always at suitable times and transport links can be difficult.

📣 We Heard
We aim to provide sessions that cover all areas within the district and at various times through the day and days of the week.

To support with transport links, we deliver many of our sessions within community venues.

Families are also welcome to access sessions throughout the county, not just those that are local to you.

📣 We Heard
We are excited to share that we are reviewing clinic provision and how we communicate this, as part of our wider Clinic Transformation work, to ensure families can easily access the support they need.
