Welcome to The City Of London Parent Carer Forum

The City of London Parent Carer Forum brings together parents and carers of children and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) to help ensure local families have a strong and meaningful voice. We recognise that finding the right support and understanding the services available can often feel challenging, which is why we work to provide guidance, encourage connection and share helpful information with families across the community.

Working alongside local education, health and care services, we aim to build positive relationships that help improve experiences and outcomes for children and young people with SEND. As part of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF), we are supported through government funding to represent parent carer views, influence local decision-making and help families access the support and opportunities available to them.
