About Us
Ran by parents for parents
We’re mums, dads and carers in Slough who’ve walked the SEND road ourselves. We started this forum because no parent should be navigating it alone, because the families who live it know best what’s needed.
Parent & Carer led
Made up of and led by parents and carers, we aim to represent the lived experiences of anyone on the same journey.
Supporting Discussions
We provide a space to voice your opinion, share your experiences and have those much needed productive and supportive conversations.
Transparency
Transparency and accountability are a key part of how we run; below you can find a link to our policies page where you can view and download them.
Inclusion
You can find support at any stage in your journey and no matter your child’s circumstances.

Our Mission

We champion lived experience, promote inclusive and respectful partnership working, and work alongside education, health and social care services so that children and young people with SEND in Slough can achieve the best possible outcomes.
