MY SUPPORT WORKER HAS REFERRED MY CHILD TO SPACE, WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
We will be in touch very soon to arrange a date for an induction. An induction usually happens over the phone (although we can do it in person if you would prefer) and is an opportunity for you to tell us all about your child. We will also tell you a bit about SPACE and answer any questions you have.

SPACE and all the provisions we offer are free of charge. This is thanks to our funders and fundraisers. If you want to raise money for SPACE please get in touch.
