Reading Families’ Forum was created by parents and carers of disabled children and young adults and continues as an independent and voluntary group of parents, carers and organisations supporting families of disabled children and young adults and is part of a wider network of parent forums in England.
All of our parent and carer representatives have disabled children. They have the same concerns as you, ranging from the first time you heard about your child being disabled to education, short break respite services, etc.
They aim to be a voice to help inform, shape and develop current and new services working alongside Reading Borough Council, the Primary Care Trust, and voluntary and community groups, to bring positive changes for disabled children and young adults.
