Women's Access Points (WAP) |
|
The primary aim of
the Women's Access Points (West Bromwich and Rowley Regis) is to provide a
culturally sensitive environment that enables younger women to fully
participate in basic skills provision, keep fit and (for the West Bromwich
WAP) health awareness sessions. To ensure maximum participation,
crèche facilities are offered to pre-school children from ages 1 and up.
