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

The Manchester Parent Champions are a group of parents who have experienced and/or know about the range of services and support available through the Local Offer. They are well-placed to tell other parents/carers about the SEND Local Offer and the help and support that’s out there for our families.

They are valued members of the Manchester Working Together Network.

You can also read more about them on the Local Offer website: https://hsm.manchester.gov.uk/kb5/manchester/directory/advice.page?id=tUaUQpQBfvI

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.
