A PLETHORA of organisations focused on helping young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in South Cumbria are hosting webinars next week.

From October 5-9 a wealth of information will be available for families to start preparing for the transition to adult life.

Over 50 organisations covering education, health, work, housing, care and leisure are taking part in the webinars which will be held on Microsoft Teams.

The aim of the fair is to help young people achieve the best possible outcomes and to maximise their independence, choice and control equitably across the county within available resources.

The fair is being held online this year due to coronavirus restrictions.
