PCF Newsletter July 2022

Jo Southall • July 25, 2022

Message from the Chair
 
I wanted to extend my huge thanks to all of the parent carers out there who have helped the PCF grow over the last 12 months. To each and every one of you who completed our survey, attended our Forums and provided us with feedback. We have taken all of your comments and worked alongside the professionals to ensure that we continue to make things better for children and young people with SEND in Cheshire West.
 

I would also like to thank our fabulous parent volunteers who sit on our Steering Group, attend meetings and those of you who have recently joined us as School Reps. Without your dedication and hard work we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have this year.
 

Finally I want to extend my sincere thanks to Rob Robertson, our Vice Chair, who is stepping down from this role this year. He has been an incredible support to me and many others over a number of years - Thank you for all that you have done. Also welcome to Vanessa Usai who has taken on the mantle from Rob.
 
Please take a few moments to re
ad what we have delivered this year and our plans for next. Please also spread the word to your friends and family who have children and young people with SEND so we can help support them too.
