 Parent Carer Forum (PCF) 

Connect with other parents and carers to improve services for SEND children and young people.
The Parent Carer 
Forum is a supportive group sharing views and shaping services to better meet the needs of SEND children and young people.

Northumberland Parent Carer Forum (PCF) is the new Department for Education recognised parent carer forum for Northumberland. The PCF works with the local authority, health and social care to improve services for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and their families.

Communication is key to what they do. They listen to the experiences and wishes of families and make sure that those views are heard by those providing services, so that they can be part of every stage of planning and decision-making. Wherever possible, they aim to work in co-production.

​

In order to represent the views of children, young people with SEND and their families, the PCF needs to hear from as many families as possible.
