Parent Carer Forums (PCFs) are grassroots organisations that bring together Parent Carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). These forums provide a collective voice for families, offering a platform to share experiences, concerns, and insights related to the challenges of caring for children with additional needs.
At the heart of Parent Carer Forums is a commitment to empowering families and ensuring their voices are heard in decision-making that impacts their lives. Forums collaborate with local authorities, health services, and other stakeholders to influence policies, services, and provisions for children and young people with SEND.
