PCF Monthly Roundup

This month we hosted our first in-person forum all about neurodiversity. It was lovely to meet many new parents and carers!

There was a Local Area Ofsted Inspection which we shared parent carer experiences to Ofsted Inspectors. You can find out more about the process in our latest blog here:

SEND Area Inspection – What’s Been Happening and How the Parent Carer Forum Has Represented Families

We’ve attended our normal working groups such as the Educational Health Care Plans (EHCP) Quality Assurance, Partnerships for Inclusion Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS), and School Coffee Events – making sure we are feeding back what you tell us.

Next up: the relaunch of the PCF Survey 2026 – The Big One!

For all our upcoming events, visit: Parent Carer Forum | Whats On

To help keep you up to date with everything we’re involved in, we’ve also created a brand-new Blog & Noticeboard area, where you can find the latest news, updates, and insights from the PCF team.
