Pre-school forums
If your child has a special educational need they may be referred to a pre-school forum. These forums meet in Kidderminster, Redditch, Worcester and Evesham and will discuss the needs of your child.
From the term following their third birthday, all children are entitled to up to 15 hours of free childcare a week in a registered setting. Some children aged 3 and 4 will be entitled to 30 hours of free childcare per week.

Worcestershire County Council also has some specialist provision for pre-school children with severe and complex needs. The pre-school forum is able to make recommendations to allocate your child one of these specialist placements; depending on further assessment and whether there are places available.
