Parent Carer Participation Webinar : Building an inclusive and credible forum

However challenging the situation, every forum has a clear responsibility to reach out a little further and do all they can to be an inclusive and credible forum that represents a wide range of parents from their community. This informative webinar recording takes you through:

Understanding the emotional, psychological and practical barriers that make it harder for parents to get involved. Learning about the Equalities Act and other legislation relating to inclusion and understand the forum’s responsibilities as a community organisation . Learning from other forums about what they have done to increase the range of parents involved. Learning how to develop effective partnerships that help you to reach and engage the wider family. Get ideas to help your forum enlist the support from the wider community. Be able to identify the gaps in your forum’s membership and have ideas to help your forum create an inclusion action plan.

The webinar was presented by Lorraine Pattison along with Steph Sherratt and Jacqui Byland from Bolton Parent Carer Consortium.
