THREE mums are staging a support event for parents struggling to find their children a special educational needs school placement.

The event will be held at Leek Cricket Club at 6pm today.

Hosted by Staffs SEND Warriors, the ticketed event will grant parents the chance to speak with 'one of the UK's leading special needs solicitors', Michael Charles. Tickets cost £6 and include free tea and coffee.

One of Staffs SEND Warriors' founders, Laura McCutcheon, had struggled to get her 11-year-old son Jonathan a school placement for three years. He has autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
