• Welcome to the Sheffield Parent Carer Forum!

    • Are you the parent or carer of a child or young person with special educational needs (SEND) in Sheffield? Do you have a primary caring role for a child with SEND? Parent carers are parents, grandparents, kinship carers, foster carers, special guardians or any other adult who has a primary caring role for a child or young person with SEND.  If so, we are here to support you. We connect families from all areas of Sheffield to provide mutual support, exchange information and work with decision makers to improve services for children and young people.

      We want to hear what you think. Join our community today and benefit from being part of the largest network of parent carers in Sheffield.

  • Disabled and Neurodivergent Parent Group (13 Nov)

    • Do you identify as disabled, neurodivergent, or diagnosed SEND? Do you feel different, isolated, or struggle to relate to others while parenting? Come and meet like-minded parents and carers. Talk if you want, listen if you don’t.
      Enjoy tea, biscuits, peer support, advice, and gentle signposting to services that work for you. Parenting while disabled or SEND can feel confusing and lonely.
      You’re not alone. We’re here.
