Resources from the 2019 National Event

Thank you to everyone who attended the two-day annual conference and NNPCF AGM on 6^th and 7^th November in Chester. We were joined by over 196 attendees, with 158 parent carers representing 88 parent carer forums to make the days lively and enjoyable despite the disruption that the election and purdah caused to the agenda.  The annual conference provides an opportunity for forum members from all over the country to come together, network and to share their passion and ideas, as well as their challenges with each other.
