We became an independent parent carer forum in April 2020 run by local parents.
The forum is run by a group of parents who are passionate about making a positive difference to improve the quality of life for SEND families in Wakefield.
- We work with families of children and young people aged 0-25 years, who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- We represent the voice of parents/carers in the whole of the Wakefield district.
- We work in partnership with service commissioners and providers such as Wakefield Council (LA), Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Mid Yorkshire Trust NHS, Department for Education (DfE), as well as other providers.
- We aim to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of SEND families in Wakefield.
- We are working to achieve better outcomes for families through participation and co-production.
