Why does North East Lincolnshire need a Parent Carer Forum?

Every Local Authority area in England needs a parent carer forum. This is a way that you can have your voice heard and work together with other parent carers to make the changes that you would like.

What is a Parent Carer Forum?

Parent carer forums are independent groups run by parent carers.

They work alongside the local authority and health as equal partners to help improve services for children and young people with additional needs and their families.

Parent carer forums are responsible for understanding the collective views of parent carers in their local area.

Parent carer forums do not campaign or offer individual advice and support. If you need individual information or support please contact the Carers Support Service North East Lincolnshire. Parent Carers – Carers Support Service North East Lincolnshire (carerssupportcentre.com).

Find out more about parent carer forums and how parents across England are helping improve local and national services for children with SEND.
