Strategic Groups
CANDI is actively involved in many different strategy groups. Please browse through out list of groups to learn more.
These groups all work to improve services and whilst our members do not aim represent all parents, they do represent a parent. The best way to make a difference is to get involved if you can.
Please speak to any member if you would like to know more.
