Welcome to Cheshire West & Chester Parent Carer Forum

We are a voluntary group of Parents & Carers in Cheshire West & Chester who have children / young people with special education needs and / or disability. (SEND) Although we have different backgrounds, experiences and knowledge, our shared purpose and aims are listed below.

Our purpose & main aims are to...

Voice

Be the voice of as many parents/carers as possible.

Partnership

Work in partnership with providers of Education, Health Care and Social Care services to influence decisions about gaps in services

Advice

Provide advice and information links to Professionals and Voluntary Organisations.

Improve

Co-produce improvements to Services so that all children and young people in the Borough with SEND are given the chance to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Get Involved

We are always looking to get your views and input so that we can help shape and influence the services that your children and young people are provided with in Cheshire West & Chester.
