Hull Parent Carer Forum - Support and advice

We are the official Parent Carer Forum for Hull.  Run by SEND parents, for SEND parents. We host events, share information and support and provide opportunities to connect with other parents and carers in the same position

We facilitate parents to have a voice, gather feedback and work with decision makers to improve services we all use or need to access.

We host a friendly Facebook private group, a safe space to ask any questions and share tips and advice.

Pop along to Breakfast Club, Lunch Club or Coffee and Chat sessions. Meet other parents, enjoy a meal and refreshments, chat to visiting professionals and learn about what’s on offer for your child in Hull. We also provide training, workshops and online seminars to parents and carers to learn how best to support and advocate for our families. https://www.hullparentcarerforum.co.uk/events

Padlet

We have created a resource and information Padlet for parents, carers and practitioners.

This Padlet is an interactive "notice board" where information and links can be added for people to view.

The aim of this Padlet is to have access to useful links, information and strategies to help understand and support disabled and neurodivergent children and young people and their families.
