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

Shiloh’s Way Parent/Carer Support Group is a parent-led group for parents and carers of African-Caribbean heritage who care for children with Autism and other additional needs. They provide culturally appropriate care, support, and advocacy for families facing the challenges of raising children with SEND.

It is apparent that African-Caribbean families feel they are not being heard and understood culturally or religiously. There is a feeling of discrimination that families feel they face, which affects communication with educational provisions and other services that their children and young adults need to engage with. These experiences often lead to a breakdown in communication with Education and other services, which leads to carers feeling overwhelmed and burning out.

Shiloh’s Way assists in bridging the gap in service provision and improve cultural understanding amongst organisations and professionals.
