Together achieving better decisions and brighter futures for Manchester families of children and young people aged 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

BECOME A MEMBER

Below are articles contributed to MPCF by fellow parent-carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) living in Manchester.

Some may highlight issues concerning SEND services across Education, Health and Social Care, while some may be more about the general public. Some may be more positive – celebrating the SEND-friendliness of our city.

We encourage everyone to comment on the articles, specially if you have experienced something similar yourself. If there is a pattern and a need for something to be done, to help make things better, we can try to change that by putting the issue forward at various board meetings or perhaps by directly contacting the relevant parties.

If you would like to write your own story in this blog, please let us know by sending us a message here or on Facebook.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
