SEND Local Offer - Co-production: Working together with parents and carers

Nottinghamshire

Learn how we are working with parents and carers across Nottinghamshire to help us develop the SEND Local Offer.


Parent Carer Forum

Nottinghamshire parent carer forum , championing the parent voice

Nottinghamshire County Council work with the Nottinghamshire Parent Carer Forum, a voluntary group of parents and carers of children and young people with additional needs and disabilities.

They are dedicated to getting parent and carers’ voices heard so that they can inform the planning and delivery of services they use.

Visit the Notts Parent Carer Forum website

Nottinghamshire County Council's commitment to working closely with the parent carer forum ensures families are involved in the planning and evaluation of local services.

The forum is actively involved in many projects with us including the local SEND accountability board, SEND local offer development group, and the short breaks steering group.

To join the forum, go to Become a member (Notts Parent Carer Forum)
