T.I.E will be having a relaunch event on Sunday 18th April 2010 at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, near Doncaster. It is a chance for the whole family to have some fun, meet some animals and find out about local services available to them.
All family members are welcome. For more details about this event please download the flyer below. You can also contact Mandy or Julie on: 01302 735884 or 01302 734716.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Together Information Exchange (TIE) is Doncaster's register of children with disabilities and additional needs.
The register contains confidential information on families with a disabled child, living in Doncaster. Families who wish to join TIE fill in a form giving details of the child and the family's needs, which is stored on a secure database and covered by the Data Protection Act.
It is hoped that people providing us with information about their situation will lead to a clearer picture of the main areas of need in Doncaster. Individual families are not identified in the production of statistics or service planning.
It also enables Doncaster Council to keep parents, children and young people in Doncaster informed on current events and support available to them.
As a member of TIE you will receive a regular free copy of the Together newsletter, delivered to your door. Together contains articles on the things that matter to you:
Together also has sections where children, young people and their families can contact others in a similar situation, contribute their own articles or pictures, and share their ideas and experiences.

For example, we will send information regarding the changes in benefits at age 16 to families with a child who is around this age.
Newsletters are available to download and can be found in the left hand column (the menu choices).
