Uniting voices in the SEND community
Who are we?
South Tyneside Parent Carer Forum is made up of a team of volunteer parent carers who care for children and young people aged 0-25 years in South Tyneside.
What do we do and why do we do it?
We work alongside strategic bodies, service providers and commissioners to ensure that the needs of children, young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and their families are met. Our overall mission is to work with these groups to represent the views and experiences of children, young people and parent carers in our area and help work towards a brighter future. We are an independent group and not part of any statutory service. We received a grant from the Department of Education to enable participation of parents and carers in the development and monitoring of services.
How can you help us?
- Share your challenges, victories, thoughts, and opinions with us. You can do this by messaging us directly, completing any short surveys we develop and engage in online discussions. Doing this helps us develop vital evidence to feedback to services and commissioners and influence change.
- Spread the word. Tell other parents and carers about us. Share our social media posts. Come along to events and our funded workshops.
- Most importantly, become a member for free!
- Remember, many voices are louder than one.
