Bedford Borough Parent Carer Forum

"If you want to know how well a pair of shoes fit, you ask the person wearing them, not the person  who made them or paid for them."

BBPCF are a group of parents and carers of SEN & disabled children who work in partnership with local authorities, education, health, social care and other providers to ensure the services they commission, plan and deliver meet the needs of SEN & disabled children and their families. Any parent or carer of a child or young person aged 0-25 can be a member.

Bedford Borough Parent Carer Forum wants to hear from all parent carers who live, use and access services within Bedford Borough.

• Could you provide feedback on particular services?
• Would you like to be involved in designing or planning services?
• Do you want to meet other parent carers who are passionate about improving outcomes for children, young people and their families?
• Would you like to see improved services in your local area?

You can be involved as much or as little as you like and every opinion is valued.
