Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum is for parents of children with disabilities and additional needs and for professionals who work with them.
Your child does not need a diagnosis to join our membership and we have no upper or lower age limit. e.g. they may be undergoing investigation, have behaviour issues, anxiety, etc.
Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum is recognised and supported by the Department for Education (DfE) under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (2015).
Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum is specifically tasked with working alongside the Local Authority and Health to help ensure that the services they plan, commission, deliver and monitor meet the needs of children with Disabilities and Special Educational Needs.
We listen to parents voices and sure their views are heard by services.
We talk to parents at events and coffee meetings.
We organise special workshops and information events for parents to share and gather information and knowledge.
Firstly it is completely FREE to join. Plus by joining you get all of this.
To register with Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum you must have a child with SEND. Any Parent or Carers must either live in Lincolnshire (not North East Lincolnshire or North Lincolnshire) or have a child in education within Lincolnshire.
You can register by following this link to the Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum website.
The Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum ‘Week of Send’ is happening from Monday 27th January 2025 to Friday 31st January 2025.
These virtual online Zoom sessions are for Parents and Carers of children with disabilities/additional needs and for professionals who work with them.
We will have a diverse range of services, organisations and support groups attending our online Zoom sessions at different times throughout the day and evening (10.30am to 9.00pm).
The aim of the event is to give attendees as much information, support and help as possible.
Sessions include multiple organisations showcasing their help and support in 10 minute, bite size presentations.
Many workshops on specific topics requested by the membership will also be held throughout the week (these will need to be booked).
Are you a parent/grandparent/carer, of a child/adult with special needs or a disability? Yes, then these FREE workshops are a must for you.
Caring for someone can be difficult at times. Do you wonder if things could be better?
Here is a series of stand alone workshops which can make a difference to our daily lives and to our families.
These workshops are a chance for parent carers to meet other parent carers and learn new strategies in a friendly easy to use style.
Our experienced presenter Hil Gibb has worked with children and young people, parents, teachers, and headteachers for over 30 years. Hil is great at helping groups of people to find the best way forward.
The workshops of held monthly and are free for LPCF members. Each workshop consists of a 30-minute interactive session on Zoom, which the Zoom links will be sent out once you have booked your place.
