Before attending one of our drop in sessions, please always check the website as dates, time and locations are subject to change.
Please note: Children attending an Easy Access Drop-In must be accompanied by a parent or someone with parental responsibility (PR). This is to ensure that consent can be provided where needed and that decisions about the child’s care can be appropriately made during the appointment.
Families are welcome to arrive at any point throughout the duration of a drop-in session and there is no expectation to arrive at the start time.
