Who is Swansea Parent Carer Forum?
We are a group of volunteer parent carers. Our children are involved with Children’s Services, Adult Services, Education and Health services.
We work with but are independent of the City & County of Swansea, and we want to make sure that services meet the needs of disabled children*, young people, adults and their families.
We believe passionately that working co-productively with Swansea Council and other service providers puts the voice of disabled children* of all ages and their families at the centre of decisions and delivers services that work for our community.
Our vision is for Swansea to be a place where the voices of families are valued and effectively used to achieve an equitable and inclusive quality of life for our children* of all ages.
WHAT IS OUR AIM?
To co-produce and co-design services that meet the needs of disabled children* of all ages and their families.
To grow, develop and empower our membership to have a strong collective voice and to influence positive change.
To provide a constructive channel of communication between parent carers and strategic partners.
*We recognise that parent carers may be caring for children over the age of 25.
What is our purpose?
We are an independent organisation whose purpose is:
To strategically influence change by co-producing services for disabled children*, young people and adults and their families.
To enable disabled children*, young people and adults and their families to have a voice** at the centre of decision making.
To reflect the diversity of our communities.
To take a rights based approach and empower our community.
**Our voice needs to be informed by parents’ and carers’ views and lived experience.
Our Vision:
“Swansea is a place where voices of families are valued and effectively used to achieve an equitable and inclusive quality of life for our children of all ages.”
