Last month we promoted:
World Autism Awareness Week – 27th March to 2nd April 2017.
To raise awareness of autism, an article was added to the website, intranet and e-newsletter about Liverpool’s Autism Champions and other local Autism Friendly businesses in the North West. The article includes links to help sign-post readers to relevant resources. To read the article, click here.

This month we will be promoting:
Dementia Awareness week – 14th to 20th May 2017
Dementia is set to be the 21st century’s biggest killer. But awareness and understanding remains low and many families are facing it alone. We will be sign-posting staff to the following resources through our website and staff intranet. For more information on Dementia, please visit the following links:
