Who are the Parent/Carer Champions? Is it for me?
Parent/Carer Champions are individuals who play a vital role in their community, focusing on supporting parents and caregivers of children with special needs or disabilities. Often parents themselves, these champions provide practical advice, emotional support, and valuable information based on their own experiences. By sharing their insights, they help create a supportive network that connects families to essential resources and services while advocating for their children’s wellbeing and rights.
If you’re a parent or caregiver of a child with educational needs or other additional support requirements, the Parent Carer Champion Network is specifically designed to support you. Our network is made up of individuals who have first-hand experience navigating the challenges and complexities you may be facing. These champions are trained to provide practical advice, emotional support, and valuable information based on their own journeys. Whether you’re seeking guidance, resources, or a sense of community, the Parent Carer Champion Network is here to empower you, connect you with essential services, and advocate for your child’s well-being and rights.
