Webinars are often easier to access than in person events. There are so many, and I regularly share them. Here are a few suggestions.

听Positive Behaviour workshops (PBS)

Skills for people has arranged some online PBS workshops. Please see posters below

We are currently offering free PBS Workshops for family carers of children under 18 who have or are waiting for a diagnosis of autism and/or a learning disability.

The workshops are designed to help families understand and support their child’s behaviour, particularly if this may be considered challenging at times.

These workshops are based in Gateshead but if you are able to travel we welcome families from all areas.

New dates for the summer term will be coming soon for our North and South Tyneside, online, Sunderland and North Cumbria workshops.

We are delighted to bring the incredible show to our PMLD children thanks to the very generous donation and support from .

听Beamish reopens fully on 31^st March for the summer season.

A one day pass becomes an annual pass and, in my opinion is excellent value for money. Add to that free parking and weather permitting makes for an excellent day out.

I鈥檝e had a look at the website and a few points I noted

• The tramways are undergoing essential maintenance but there is a replacement bus service.
• The fish and chip shop is closed but there is 鈥淢Iddletons鈥� in town.
• There is a Meccano exhibition on in April.

Visit the website for more information:

Accessibility at Beamish. Much has been done to improve accessibility and make Beamish as good as it can be for those with different abilities. 1 free carer is admitted with proof of carer status, there are discounts for those with MAX cards, there is a 鈥渃hanging place鈥� and another accessible changing facility, wheelchair (not powered ones due to weight) accessible vehicle, sensory bags (deposit required to borrow), a quiet sensory space, accessible parking which is free of charge and entrance to the museum via ramp. Beamish is quite hilly, but I鈥檓 sure you will agree that they have done all they can to make it as accessible as possible.
