Become a WPCV Rep

WPCV Reps work with the Steering Group to ensure that parental views are fed back to those who provide local services. They do this by talking to local families to gather information and by attending meetings with service providers.
Contact us for more information about how to get involved

Join the Steering Group

The role of the steering group is to help shape the direction of the forum. The steering group meets at least once every half term to review the work plan and set the future work. The steering group also makes financial decisions and authorise any expenditure inline with the finance policy of the forum. Steering group members act as representatives attending meetings and events.

About us

We are a voluntary group of parent carers, all experts by experience, with a lived understanding of how challenging life can be raising a child with additional needs and / or disabilities.

Our aim is to gather the voices of Warwickshire parent carers and let these be heard to ensure that services meet the needs of our children and our families.

Join Us

You can become a Member of Warwickshire Parent Carer Voice if you have a child age 0-25 with any Special Educational Need or Disability (whether they have a diagnosis or not) and you live in or access services for your child in Warwickshire.

OUR STRENGTH IS IN OUR NUMBERS

Volunteer

We run almost entirely on volunteers, our Steering Group, our Parent Reps and those who help out at events or coffee mornings or with admin. We need you to help us build Warwickshire Parent Carer Voice into an organisation that can make a difference in shaping co-produced services, taking into account the needs and preferences of parent carers of children and young people with SEND.

Help us build this into the ultimate signposting resource so that the parent carers in Warwickshire can find all the information they need quickly.
