Welcome to
South Glos Parent Carers
We are the local parent carer forum working to give a voice to parent carers of children (aged 0-25) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
We listen to your experiences and gather your views in an effort to bring about positive change
We connect you with our community of parent carers and offer support - whether your child has a diagnosis or not
We make sure your voice is heard by those who provide services used by your family

FOUNDED WITH CARE
In 2009, three mums had a vision to improve services for all families in South Gloucestershire.
They decided to launch a Parent Carer Forum, and Our Voice Matters was formed. Little did they know the journey that lay ahead – take a look at our SGPC timeline for a quick overview.

At South Glos Parent Carers I have met some incredible people and been welcomed into an amazing community. You have enabled me to find understanding, comfort, support and the opportunity to hear about other’s experiences. It means I don’t feel so alone in my journey with two children having SEND. I only wish I had found SGPC sooner.
