Vale of Glamorgan: New - Little Pebbles Parent Support Group - For Parents & Carers of Under 5s with Additional Needs


Vale Family Information Service:

Little Pebbles Parent Support Group

Dear Parent/Carer

We’re delighted to introduce the Little Pebbles Parent Support Group, a new, friendly space from the Early Years Additional Learning Needs (ALN) Team. This is for parents and carers of young children with additional or emerging needs.

The group offers a relaxed, informal environment to meet other families, share experiences and build a supportive network, while children play. Parents and carers are also welcome to attend on their own if their child is in a setting or school.

You’ll have the chance to chat with members of the Early Years ALN Team, ask questions about your child’s early education, and access support in a welcoming setting—over a cuppa.
No diagnosis or referral needed – just drop in.

Details:  

St Helen’s Community Hub, Wyndham Street, Barry, CF63 4EL 

Fridays 10:00am – 11:30am

Department for Work & Pensions: Latest updates

New employment and careers digital support for citizens

The Department for Work and Pensions’ employment and careers digital support for citizens has now gone live. The tools aim to support people to explore careers options, search for work and prepare for job applications, and can be found on GOV.UK.

These include a new Find a Job service, a CV Builder, an Action Planning Tool and an AI Work Assistant, supporting people at different stages of their employment journey. The tools offer a more joined up job search experience and provide personalised support.

They are designed to complement the valuable support provided by partner organisations and advisers.

Motability scheme update

Reforms to the Motability scheme to ensure fairness for taxpayers, whilst still supporting disabled people’s mobility, came into force this week.

VAT will now apply to advance payments - the optional one-off top-up paid by customers who choose a more expensive vehicle - and Insurance Premium Tax will apply to new leases.

The scheme was set up to help disabled people stay mobile and independent, and these changes ensure it continues to do exactly that, while delivering genuine value for taxpayers.

Disabled people on enhanced mobility benefits will continue to receive their full award of £77.05 per week and remain eligible for the scheme, with vehicles still available that require no advance payment, meaning people can access a car using their benefit alone.
