Parent Carers forum

Northants Parent Forum Group (NPFG)

The NPFG enables parents looking after children with additional needs to get involved in service planning and decision making so that services meet the needs of families and resources are not wasted on services which parents and families do not take up.

Meetings are arranged in Northamptonshire or parent support groups visited to discuss issues around service provision and implementation.

Please contact them directly for further details.
