Busill Jones Primary School -Ashley Roadd, Bloxwich WS3 2QF

“ Parenting is a precious experience, but not one that comes without its challenges. We’re really pleased to be launching the Being a Parent groups across the borough so parents and carers do not need to navigate these challenges alone.
The groups are welcome to everybody, and provide a safe space to come along, learn, share, and meet new people.
If you would like to come to one of the groups but none of the dates, times or venues are suitable for you, please let us know, so we can shape the service in line with what our parents and carers feel is best for them. “
