Contact and the Entrust Care Partnership are delighted to announce that Entrust will be hosting Coventry Parent Carer Forum from 5 April 2023. As a host organisation, Entrust will enable the parent carers who are shaping and running the Forum to benefit from its own well-established local links and experience. It will also provide additional management, finance and staffing support.
Coventry Parent Carer Forum is a new independent group created and run by parent carers of children and young people with additional needs aged 0-25yrs and living in Coventry. It aims to work with Coventry City Council, the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (NHS) and other statutory agencies as an equal partner to help improve services for Coventry children with special educational needs and/or health needs, whether diagnosed or not.
