Events and training

We value the importance of both parents and the professionals who work with our families, having access to relevant contemporary training.

At DSUK, we ask families to contribute towards the subsidised cost of many of our services.  We would never want a family not to be able to access services, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if needed.

All event times are displayed based on Europe/London timezone.
