Worcestershire Parent Carer Forum (formerly Families in Partnership) are excited to launch our first Parent Carer Representative training sessions. The training sessions are FREE to Worcestershire parent carers and will give you the skills and knowledge to become a WPCF parent carer rep. Using your lived experience of being a parent and carer for your young person with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities, you can attend meetings with decision makers of local education, health and social care providers.
The training will teach you about the principles of co-production and give you the skills to confidently provide constructive, and occasionally challenging, conversations with providers.
