About the service
Fairer Futures offers three main strands of support for families:
Parent and child groups

They focus on:

- Sharing practical strategies for everyday life
- Providing tailored advice around sleep, behaviour, and sensory needs
- Creating opportunities for peer support with other families
Parent/carer workshops
Our workshops give parents and carers practical tools and understanding to support their child.
Topics include:
- Neurodevelopmental pathways (NDP)
- Autism
- ADHD
- Sleep
- Understanding behaviour
- Sensory play and sensory processing
Coffee and connect sessions
These informal sessions give parents and carers a chance to talk, share experiences, and build supportive connections.
They can be:
- Face to face in community venues
- Online
- Held at twilight times to be more accessible for families
