Suffolk Parent Carer Forum
SPCF’s aim is to ensure that every parent carer in Suffolk's voice, views and experiences matter and that they contribute towards developing and improving services. We do this by reaching out to parent carers to be involved by representing parent carers experience and expertise to decision-makers and making recommendations for service improvements.
We participate in a wide range of local projects and events

Our 2024 Annual Survey Report
This year, we ran our Annual Survey from 14th May for 3 weeks to enable participants enough time to express their views and provide SPCF with a clear picture of how parents and carers were feeling about Education and Health services in Suffolk for their children and young people with SEND. We intend to use the findings of the survey to steer positive change with SEND & Mental Health Services in Suffolk. You can access the report below
Our Aims & Objectives
- To be the strategic consultative body within Suffolk representing families of children and young people with special/additional needs and/or disabilities, providing a liaison point for Statutory and Voluntary Agencies within Suffolk. This will be achieved by providing Parent Carer Representatives to work in co-production with local services.
- To consult with and inform our membership with a view to ensuring that all children and young people in Suffolk with special/additional needs and/or disabilities meet their full potential and achieve the best possible outcomes.
