About Parent Carer Voice North Yorkshire

• We are the recognised Parent Carer Forum for North Yorkshire, supporting families with children and young people (0-25 years old) with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). 

• Our vision is to inform, empower and represent the collective voice of families with SEND in the region. 

• We are a community of parent carers, connecting families through shared information, experiences and mutual support. We know how isolating and confusing it can be to navigate services and family life with SEND, so we organise events and training across North Yorkshire and share information with the aim to inform and empower families. 

• We work together, using our collective voice for positive change. We work closely and co-productively with our strategic partners and service providers such as the Local Authority and Integrated Care Board's - ICB's to help improve services and support for families.  

• Parent Carer Voice North Yorkshire is part of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums - NNPCF. We work alongside our regional partners in Yorkshire and Humber, together the collective voice is stronger!
