About Us
Our Aim
Worcestershire Parent Carer Forum is a collective of parent carers of children with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities. Our aim is to make sure that parents’ voices are heard when it comes to planning and decision making about services for our SEND children and young people in Worcestershire.
By creating a safe and protective environment for parent carers to share their experiences, the forum can help to enable change or improvements when needed and promote those areas of services when they are working well, through positive dialogue and co-production.
Meet our Team
The Worcestershire Parent Carer Forum is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) governed by 6 trustees: Anne Eyre, Chris Rees, Dayna Langley, Jackie Roberts, Nicole Scully and Siani Driver. We made the transition to becoming a fully independent charity in 2026. Hazel Shaw is now our CEO and is supported by a small team of parent carers who lead on specific projects: Alison Stanton focuses on schools’ engagement, Becky Parkington on parent carer events and Claire Duggan on our Autism & Parental Blame work. We also have diverse and talented team of more than 20 parent carer reps who attend meetings, host events, attend programme boards and much more.Â
