Advisory Group

The BANES Parent Carer Forum is inviting applications for members to join our new Advisory Group. This is a valuable opportunity to share your experience, influence decisions, and support families across the local community. Previous expertise is not necessary, but we do ask for lived experience of SEND whether that’s as a parent or professional.

The terms of reference are available for anyone who would like more details. Applications close on Friday January 23rd, so if you’re interested in making a difference, we encourage you to apply soon.

For any questions, please contact
