MPCF Coffee Morning @ Martenscroft

January 16 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

| Free

Join us on Friday, 16 January 2026, for a coffee morning at Martenscroft Children’s Centre in Hulme.

On this day, we will be joined by Nuala Finegan, a Senior School Quality Assurance Officer for SEND, to provide an update on the success of the Dingley’s Promise Early Years Inclusion training that Manchester has been a part of over the past 3+ years.

If you have a child aged 0 to 5 (“Early Years”) and/or you want to get involved with the work that we do around improving inclusion in the Early Years, we encourage you to join us on this day to learn about how you can help this work.

Per usual, this session is also an opportunity to meet and chat with fellow parents & carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) in a relaxed and friendly setting.

You can also talk to us about the work that we do at Manchester Parent Carer Forum and find out about information & events relevant to SEND.

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.
