Follow Parent Carers Together CIC Facebook Group for support and keeping connected during these uncertain times.
They endeavour to keep SEND family needs at the heart of their community.
Taken from their FaceBook Account:
As we enter uncertain times, we want Derby City parent carers to know we are in this 'TOGETHER'. We are passionate about having those conversations, to rethink support and maximise help. Looking out for each other and sticking together will be what pulls us through the challenges that lay ahead.
Never has there been a need for us to build resilience, feel informed and be part of a community than there is now. Being part of social connections that understand our family's uniqueness will be critical to us all getting by.
We were tasked with questioning what would help; we knew what our members need; 'Real' action, in real-time from experts who can help. We know you need a fantastic team of professionals who can bring support directly to your homes when you need it the most for the foreseeable.
