About Suffolk Parent Carer Forum
Who We Are
Suffolk Parent Carer Forum is a charitable organisation formed by parents, carers and family members of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), striving to shape and improve provisions and services in Suffolk.
What We Do
We work to consult families and gather their views and experiences of SEND services. Through co-production meetings with the local authority, education and health services and voluntary sector, we use the feedback we collect to challenge service providers and improve the quality of services for children and young people.
We work alongside, but independently from the local authority, education and health services.
How We Support Families
We signpost families to appropriate services and groups in Suffolk and share useful information related to SEND through our member newsletters, website and social media. We host SEND services events across Suffolk with relevant organisations in education, health and voluntary sectors. We also engage service leaders in a variety of workshops and focus groups virtually throughout the year.
