Listen 4 Change

Listen 4 Change is the local Parent Carer Forum, open to any carers of a child or young person with Special Educational Needs and/or a Disability (SEND) aged 0–25 in St Helens. We are a group of volunteer parent carers who work in partnership with the Local Authority, NHS Integrated Care Board, education, health and social care services to make sure the services that they plan and deliver meet the needs of children and young people with SEND and their families. Our Mission Statement: To work with the Local Authority, the Integrated Care Board and other service providers, including Health, Education & Social Care, to ensure that local services meet the needs of children and young people with SEND and their families thus ensuring they have the best possible outcomes. Our Aims are: 1. To give parent carers the opportunity to share their views and experiences of the services they use with the service providers. 2. To ensure parent carer voices are heard at the highest level so that the services used by them, and their children and young people, meet their needs. 3. To inform parent carers about local services so that they know what is available to support them and their families.
