Parent Carer Participation Advisers – here to help your forum
Each forum has an assigned Parent Carer Participation Adviser who can support the forum and provide a sounding board for the forum steering group. The adviser will work with forums over a period of time and build a relationship with them. If you do not know who your adviser is you can contact [email protected] and someone will link you to them.
Advisers can help forums to ensure that they are working within the remit of the Department for Education grant. The review applications for the grant and the subsequent monitoring submitted by the forum.
They are a source of information on good practice and can link forums with resources to help them with co-production and running the forum. Advisers can be contacted directly by the forum and are able to offer virtual, telephone and email advice and support.
Advisers will also meet with forums at regional NNPCF meetings and at the annual Contact and NNPCF joint conference. Below you can find the list of advisers, or for an overview of the whole team click here.
