Parent Carer Participation Wirral is the DfE funded Parent Carer Forum for Wirral.
We are an ever-growing group of parent carers who are passionate about ensuring the rights and needs of all children with SEND on Wirral are identified and met. By doing this we hope to improve the quality of life for children, young people and their families.
We are funded through Contact
Contact receives funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to help ensure that services meet the needs of children/young people and their families in local areas. We do this by gathering the views and concerns of families throughout the Wirral area and then working in partnership with local authorities, and health and social care to highlight where services are working well and to challenge where change or improvements need to be made.
We offer training opportunities for parent carers and can offer to signpost to relevant services. As a group, we know how valuable it is to be able to meet up or just be able to communicate with other parent carers, swap stories or just be able to have a chat with others who understand the difficulties we face day-to-day.
Who is this aimed at?
PCPW will offer the Local Authority, commissioners and service providers the views and concerns of parents and carers to influence service development, design and delivery on the Wirral. We aim to be your voice for parents and carers and to contribute to the improvement of education, health and social care services. PCPW will also hold events to gather your views and to provide you with SEND information.
We aim to use a co-productive inclusive approach, working in partnership with all agencies by using the voices of parent carers to mould and influence services for children and young people locally.
Cost
We are a constituted group that consists of steering group members, associate members and general members. We are all keen to grow our membership to ensure as many parent carers as possible have their voices heard. For an updated pricing list please email pcpw@wired.me.uk.
