PARENTS of youngsters who have additional needs are being invited to attend a forum.

The Rossendale branch of the Lancashire Local Parent Carer Forum is to stage the event at the Maden Centre in Rochdale Road, Bacup.

A spokesman for the forum said: “Our local forums offer an opportunity to raise any issue or concerns with one of our liaison officers, chat to other parents and meet our guest speakers.

“Although the forums follow an agenda, they offer a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.”

Membership of the forum is flexible and people may attend as and when they wish.

Anyone interested in attending this or any other local forum meeting should contact a liaison officer. More information is also available from the same source.

The forum will take place on Monday September 18 between 1pm and 3pm.
