We appreciate that these are difficult, challenging and anxious times for many and most certainly for parent carers of children and young people with SEND. The DPCC will continue to do it all it can to provide information and support, while following official guidance from the UK Government and Public Health England.

We are particularly aware of the impact of ‘social isolation’ and are currently working on ways for parent carers to ‘meet up’ through an online ‘coffee morning’ something we will facilitate which will provide an opportunity for parent carers to just chat and offer support to each.
