1. Accessing our Services
Applications to access The MAZE Group Parenting Programme are through referrals and are considered on completion of a booking form.
On receipt of the completed booking form, The MAZE Group will make contact to acknowledge and advise the likely date of a place offer. Please note that completion of the booking form does not automatically guarantee you a place on the next Programme.
Any person unable to attend week one, should contact The MAZE Group as soon as they are able and confirm whether they require the place held open. If The MAZE Group are not informed, and there is non-attendance, we reserve the right to offer this place to the next person held on our waiting list. If there is still non-attendance after week two then you will lose your place on the Programme and be offered the opportunity to access the support via the series of videos.
Under the terms of our funding, we must obtain certain information; this includes your child or young person's gender, date of birth, current school setting, details of your GP surgery and where you currently are on the Neurodevelopmental Pathway. If this information is not provided then unfortunately we are not able to offer you a place on the Programme.
You may request an opportunity to repeat the Programme, but we require a resubmitted form with this request marked on it. This will ensure parents are able to attend again, taking into account new referrals from people who are waiting for a place.
2. Fees
All parents/carers whose GPs are located in North-East Essex are able to access the Programme at no cost due to funding from North-East Essex’s Clinical Commissioning Group. For those outside of North-East Essex there is a nominal fee of £35.
3. Prior to Attending our Programme
Prior to attending our Programme you will be asked to complete a questionnaire. This will enable The MAZE Group to tailor the Programme to the needs of those attending. Guarantee of a place is provided on completion of the Pre-Programme Questionnaire which will be sent you at the time of a firm place offer.
4. Completion of the Programme
On completion of the Programme, The MAZE Group would be grateful for an evaluation form to be completed. The facilitators will discuss this further with you during the course. Under the terms of our funding, we are required to obtain feedback from attendees of our Programme.
