Our Events and Groups
Parent carers know the problems frequently experienced by families with children and young people with SEND. This knowledge is useful to service providers as they plan services to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND. Listen 4 Change holds regular events to engage with parent carers, collect these views and share them with the service providers to highlight what is working well and where improvements need to be made.
Forum Meetings
We hold forum meetings where parent carers can come along, meet other parent carers, find out about local services, ask questions and give feedback to service providers. A wide variety of services across health, education and social care are invited to our forums. Invitations to practitioners are either in response to current service issues or developments or as a result of parents requests to find out more about the services.
Coffee Mornings
Our monthly coffee mornings are a great way to meet other parent carers in a relaxed setting. Come along and share your views and experiences of local services. Parents collective voices are then amplified to local services.
Coffee Evenings
We hold monthly evening get togethers. Come along to meet other parent carers in a relaxed setting, share your views and experiences of local services and have your voice heard.
Training
We want our parent carers to feel confident, knowledgeable and skilled in their role as a parent carer and also use their experience, knowledge and skills to get more involved in their forum. We offer a varied programme of training workshops during the year.
