How to have your say – Parliament Workshop

Monday 16th March 2026, 11am - 12.30pm How to Have Your Say with Parliament Who is your Member of Parliament (MP) and what can they do for you? Are there other ways the issues you face as a carer can be heard by the UK Parliament? This workshop is an introduction to how Parliament works. You will learn how you can amplify your voice as a carer to Parliament and to local government. It is for anyone who – • wants to know how and when to approach your MP, your councillor or your elected Mayor • wants to a basic overview of how laws are made, and policy decided • wants to influence policy at a national level based on your lived experience of being a carer • is interested in what Carers in Hertfordshire are each doing to amplify the carers’ voice This group will be facilitated by Steve Probyn Engagement Manager and a UK Parliament Senior Education and Engagement Outreach Officer – East of England. If you are unable to make this event, we will be aiming to run this workshop again throughout the year
