Welcome to the National Network of Parent Carer Forums
“Parent Carer Forums are representative local groups of parents and carers of children and young people with disabilities who work alongside local authorities, education, health and other service providers to ensure the services they plan, commission, deliver and monitor meet the needs of children and families”
Para 1.13 SEND Code of Practice 2015
What is the National Network of Parent carer Forums?
The National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF) is the independent, national voice for Parent Carer Forums across the nine Department for Education (DfE) regions in England. The NNPCF was established in 2011, and became a Community Interest Company (CIC) in 2019. As a representative organization, we bring together all recognized local Parent Carer Forums (PCFs) across England.
The NNPCF’s role is to champion strategic parent carer participation at local level whilst working at a regional, and national level, ensuring that the voices of parent carers are heard in shaping policies and services.
