Since 2009, we’ve been capturing parent carer voices through different ways, including:
- Spotlight events (these are information sessions for our families on a range of topics)
- Our annual SEND survey.
- Shaping SEND events with Assistant Director of SEND, Dan Careless.
- Parent representatives who sit on strategic meetings and represent the wider parent carer community and more.

We hold spotlight events and information sessions to raise awareness on topics important to our members. Previously, we’ve held events around attendance, emotionally based school avoidance, coffee & cake catch ups with our parent involvement partners and attend the annual World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD). We also host bi-monthly Shaping SEND sessions, which focus on updates from the local authority and Assistant Director of SEND (Bradford), Dan Careless which will now be focused around the SEND reforms.
We are run and governed by parents of children/young people with additional needs and proudly represent Bradford as one of 152 Parent Carer Forums across England. Established in 2012 by parent carers, we now have a core team of three staff members and a diverse range of trustees who are passionate about creating a space whee families feel heard, welcomed and supported.
