A voice and platform at a strategic level, reflecting our diverse community

Giving Value to Your Voice

WHAT WE DO

We sit on working groups with the Local Authority, Health Board and West Glamorgan Regional Partnership.

We arrange training for parent carers.

We listen and feed the voice of parent carers into decision making. Then we feed back to parent carers.

Our Leadership Team meet regularly to discuss the work we’ve been doing.

WHAT WE DON’T DO

We don’t directly provide services to families.

We are not a support group.

We don’t advocate individual cases. However, we are very interested in individual stories because by hearing about your experiences we are able to highlight issues.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

You don’t need to be signed up to our mailing list to get involved, but by becoming a member you will receive our regular newsletter and be kept informed of the work we are doing, training and workshops we are running.

You could get involved by completing one of our surveys or polls, by accessing one of the training courses we offer, by coming to a focus group, by sharing with us your experiences of local services, by working with us on specific projects.

If you are a parent or carer of a child with additional needs who lives in Swansea you can become a member of the forum. Once you join you’ll receive updates about our activities as well as opportunities to participate, such as being involved in consultations and research projects.

However much or little you choose to get involved you will be helping to make a difference to the services that matter so much to our children. So please add your voice to that of others. The more people we represent, the more our joint voice will be heard by decision makers in our area.
