PARENTS of local disabled children now have a chance to have their say on services.

The North West Training and Development Team is seeking applications from handicapped people, and parents of the disabled, to attend a Partners in Policymaking course which will run from September 1998 to April 1999.

There will be eight two-day events, each session devoted to specific topics with nationally known experts as presenters.

For further information contact course organiser Chris Gathercole on 01254 821334 or 823376, or fax 01254 821329.
