What is the Parent Carer Involvement Board?

The Hertfordshire Parent Carer Involvement Board is a group of 12 volunteer parent/carers.
 

Parent Carer Involvement Board

This Board meets on a regular basis to work in partnership with statutory and voluntary agencies to improve services for children with a disability in Hertfordshire.
 
They are working to ensure that the voices of their parents and families are heard and that they are able to work in partnership with all agencies to shape policy and influence change.

The Board want to:

  • Improve services for children with disabilities and their families

  • Work with statutory agencies to ensure the involvement of families and young people is effective in shaping policies, commissioning and in decision making.

  • Champion the inclusion of children with disabilities and their families in society.

  • Improve choice and control for children with disabilities and their families.

Parent Carer Involvement Board: Minutes of Meetings:

Developing Special Provision Locally

This was a consultation that Hertfordshire County Council ran from March to May. The main idea of the consultation being that education and social care should provide for all children with SEND (Special education needs and/or disabilities) in their local area rather than them having to travel long distances to school or be educated in a setting outside of Hertfordshire.

At a meeting in May the Involvement Board presented it’s ideas to Jim Dalton, the lead officer on this project and Sue Jaye, the Parent Participation Manager.

The Boards view was formed after analysing the information and proposals provided and attending public presentations given by CSF. We also listened to the views of parents and carers across the county and used Board members extensive knowledge of mainstream, special and out of county schools.
