Message from the Chair - Welcome Back and Introductions....
 
We would like to welcome all of our families back from the recent summer break and take this opportunity to welcome 2 new members to our Steering Group and share with you our Steering Group Structure.
Joanne Cawley is Mum to James who has recently started a Hospitality and Catering course at Petty Pool College. Jo is taking on our Social Care Lead role and will be working alongside Annika Flower to represent your experiences.
I would also like to welcome Daniela Giaz, who is joining as our Health Lead working alongside Lesley Gledhill. Daniela is Mum to 2 children and has valuable lived experiences that she can share with our Professional Colleagues.


Julie Duff - Chair 

Here is an outline of our 2022 PCF Steering Group.

Back to school can be a tricky time for our children with SEND.

We have had a lot of feedback that there have been significant issues with Transport this year. We have been working with the Transport Team to escalate these issues.

In the new few days we will be asking you for your specific feedback so that we can improve services and the experiences for our children with SEND in the Future.

Coffee & Catch Ups

In addition to our Forums, we are also planning some drop in coffee events across the borough. We are in the process of finding venues for these, so please keep an eye on our website for deatils. In the meantime, I encourage you to attend your School Coffee Events where we will have representatives there to support you. We now have PCF School Reps at most of our Special Schools and are looking for volunteers in our Mainstream schools. If you would like to help then please get in touch.

Our Next Event...

PCF CWaC are looking forward to welcoming you back to our 2022/23 events.
Our first Forum will be held on Wednesday 21st September 2022.
We have listened to our members feedback, with making events more accessible for working parents being a common theme. As requested by you are first Forum will be held as a virtual evening forum covering the topics of Benefits and Will & Trusts.
