Discover the Parent Carer Forum (PCF): Who We Are in 10 Minutes

At the Parent Carer Forum (PCF), we’re always looking for new ways to connect with families and share what we do. To offer a more accessible and engaging way of learning about us, we’ve created a 10-minute recording that highlights who we are, what we do, and how we support SEND families across Cheshire West and Chester.

This recording is perfect if you want to understand the work of the PCF but don’t have time to attend a meeting or read through detailed information.

Why Listen to Our Recording?

In just 10 minutes, you’ll:

Learn Who We Are: Hear about our mission, values, and the parent-led nature of the forum.
Discover What We Do: From gathering families’ voices to collaborating with professionals, we break down how we work to influence positive change.
Understand How We Operate: Find out how we connect with families through surveys, focus groups, and events, and how you can get involved.

We’ve designed this recording to be an accessible and flexible way to learn about the PCF, whether you’re at home, on the school run, or simply need a quick overview.
