❓Are you looking for inclusive activities for your children over the summer break? Great news – There will be loads of fun activities available to families of children/ young with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) living in Manchester, including ones organised through the Local Offer, the Holiday Activity and Food programme (HAF), or through programmes by other local organisations and support groups.

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.
