solihull parent carer voice
Birmingham
My name is Heather and I have 2 children with SEN, mental health difficulties,
and health difficulties. Both my children have been in mainstream school, gone
through the EHC process and are now at Specialist Schools. I have had to deal
with the challenges of getting diagnoses and EHC plans and getting the right
school placements for both children. I have completed the IPSEA SEN legal
training and have done lots of training on child mental health. I believe that
by parents working together and working with the local authority, health and
other services we can make a difference. I am a National Representative for the
National Network of Parent Carer Forums- raising the voices of parent carers at
a national level. I am also a Co-Chair of the West Midlands Region of Parent
Carer Forums.
