Our voices are louder together

Welcome To The Parent Carer Forum

We are a group of volunteer parents and carers who aim to represent the interests of families and young people with additional needs and disabilities across Rochdale, Heywood and Middleton.

We:

  • Enable parents/carers to be resilient and positive through being involved and empowered
  • Provide training and coaching for parents/carers and professionals
  • Sign post to services and share information
  • Positively influence services and practices across Rochdale Borough
  • Enable parents/carers to provide peer to peer support through monthly meetings and the Parent Carers Voice Chat Facebook page

(The views, opinions and advice expressed on the Facebook page are those of individuals and are not necessarily representative of the Rochdale Parent Carers Voice)

Watch a video from our previous Co-Chair – Kath Bromfield – explaining more about the benefits of parent carer forums:
