How we are funded...

We are funded by a grant from Department for Education to support our development and strategic involvement in local services. We are independent financially from the Local Authority and Health Services, but we work closely with them.


We are part of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums which promotes opportunities for the voice of parent carers to influence at a national level.


We are led by a Steering Group made up of Parent and Carer volunteers and professionals from Health, Education and Social Care Services who work in SEND in Cheshire West and Chester.
