We are an ever growing group of parent carers who are passionate about ensuring the rights and needs of all children with SEND on Wirral are identified and met. By doing this we hope to improve the quality of life for children, young people and their families.
We are funded through Contact
Contact receive funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to help ensure that services meet the needs of children/young people and their families in local areas.
PCPW does this by gathering the views and concerns of families throughout the Wirral area and then working in partnership with local authorities, health and social care to highlight where services are working well and to challenge where change or improvements need to be made.
We are a constituted group who consist of steering group members, associate members and general members.
We are all keen to grow our membership to ensure as many parent carers as possible have their voices heard.
We aim to use a co-productive approach, working in partnership with all agencies by using the voices of parent carers to mould and influence services for children and young people locally.
We aim to offer training opportunities for parent carers and to be able to offer signposting to relevant services.
As a group we know how valuable it is to be able to meet up or just be able to communicate with other parent carers, swap stories or just be able to have chat with others who understand the difficulties we face day to day.
We will be starting monthly coffee mornings/afternoons in the coming months.
