Welcome to BANES Parent Carer Forum! We are an independent, parent-led organisation supporting families of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in Bath & North East Somerset, from birth to age 25. Run by parent carers, for parent carers, we understand the challenges, and the joys, that come with navigating the SEND journey.

As a not-for-profit CIC, everything we do is for our members. It’s free to join, with a range of events, workshops and support on offer. Your experiences help shape our work and influence decisions in education, health and social care – locally and beyond.
