Ep4: Yes to planning for the future as a parent

Yes to You: The Lifeways Social Care Podcast

In this episode of Yes to You, the Lifeways social care podcast, our host Paul is joined by Launa Novas-Hughes, our Enquiry, Referral and Assessment Manager for the West Midlands, and Sally-Ann Heap, who’s the mother of Christopher, who we as Lifeways support at Haddon Court, our supported living service near Peterborough. Sally and Launa discuss Christopher’s transition to the service from the family home, and important support factors learned along the way.
