Salford PCF: SEND Participation Group
What is Salford’s SEND participation group?
Our Participation Group is a small group of Parent Carers who meet on a monthly basis to work on Salford PCF workstreams and projects that are important to them. They help create change in the SEND system, improve access to support for families, and influence decision making with partner agencies. No experience required, Salford PCF will support anyone who wants to get involved. Our volunteers really do make a huge difference!
What we can offer
Salford PCF will:
- Pay any out of pocket expenses (including travel costs and childcare)
- Provide a working lunch
- Ensure your views are heard
- Support you to attend
- Peer support and a supportive community
- Influence local decision making
How to join
We would love to have more members to share ideas, explore new workstreams and work on on-going projects.
How often do we meet?
We meet once a month at Eccles Gateway, 11am to 1pm
