Welcome to the Sheffield Parent Carer Forum
We are an independent group of parents and carers of children and young people (0-19) with disabilities and special educational needs. Our main aim is to ensure the needs of our children are met. We bring together parent carers from across Sheffield to provide mutual support, exchange information, and influence policy and practice. We have over 750 members.
