Influence & Change
A core aim of a Parent Carer Forum like PACC is to provide opportunities to use their combined knowledge and experience to improve services through coproduction.
Information Provision
Ensuring Parent Carers are informed with accurate and appropriate information. We provide information and signposting to support families to make informed decisions the care they and their families recieve.
Community Support
Supporting SEND families to be better connected, reducing isolation and improving family life through social networks where information and support can be shared.
How can PACC help?
By listening to your experiences of the SEND system we can influence change to improve the care, support, and services made available to families. Our monthly newsletter and active social media provide information and updates about issues and activities that may be of interest to the SEND community. PACC provides opportunities both in person and online for SEND families to access peer support to help reduce isolation and to improve quality of life.
What Families say about PACC
"It's so good to meet the other parents and exchange experiences"
" ... there are so many wonderful people supporting us on our journey, many of whom are volunteers"
