Webinar 4: Researching service provision for children with complex needs

While we all wish to see ‘evidence based practice’ when it comes to providing specialist support to children with disability or developmental difficulties, conducting meaningful research in this field is challenging. Join Dr Lisa Hurt, an experienced Population Health Researcher from Cardiff University, and Bethan Collins, a full time Research and Development officer working for Sparkle, a charity dedicated to providing services for children with disability or learning difficulties, discuss the challenges and value of research in this field. If you want to learn from those with ‘real world’ experience of capturing quality indices that matter to young people and their carers, and the research techniques that can be used with this group, this podcast is the one for you.

Webinar 3: Specialist leisure provision for children with disability or developmental difficulties

While play is every child’s right, sadly many children with complex disability or severe cognitive delay cannot access play provision in their community. Our panel discussion hears the experiences of a young person with disability, and a parent representative for other children with disability or developmental difficulties, along with an experienced Leisure manager providing specialist leisure opportunities within an integrated Centre for children with complex disorders. If you are interested in exploring why a specialist leisure service is necessary, and how to make this service accessible and effective, this podcast will answer these questions based on 12 years of experience in the field.

If you want to hear first hand what different roles can provide, and how this helps parent/carers and professionals working with them, this podcast offers a unique opportunity to learn from experts in their field, delivering these services.
