A special school has organised a "multi-agency day" to help families with children who have severe and multiple disabilities.

Wedgewood Special School, Holme Wood, Bradford has organised the event, on Thursday, when agencies such as Surestart, the Fire Safety Project, Wheelchair Services, Contact a Family and a physio team, among many others, will set up stalls for families to visit and receive information.

School parental involvement officer Leanne Wright said: "Various agencies are all setting up their own stalls so parents of the children who come to the school can get information. The idea is to promote multi-agency working.

"We want to bring information to the parents because we know how hard it is for them to get out sometimes."

A choir, including some of the children with special needs, will be performing in the afternoon in the school's sensory garden.

There will also be a tombola stall, and cakes and games stalls.

Head teacher, Liz Flavell will open the event at 10am.
