PARENTS whose children have complex special needs are being given in a say in how services in County Durham can be linked.

A series of consultation events are taking place in the next two weeks at children’s centres around the county.

They are aimed at giving parents the opportunity to learn and give their views on how services for special need children will join together.

They are: Wednesday May 13, 3 to 4pm at Stanhope Children’s Centre, West Croft, Stanhope, DL13 2NU; Thursday May 14, 10 to 11am, at Dene House Children’s Centre, Manor Way, Peterlee, SR8 5RL; Thursday May 14, 1 to 2pm, Sacriston Children’s Centre, Findon Hill, Sacriston, DH7 6LU; Friday May 15, 10 to 11am, Stanley Children’s Centre, Clifford Road, Stanley, DH9 0AB.
