Parents Participate

The PPP Team (from left to right) - Mariana, Ailsa, Olivia, Alice and Julie

Hello and welcome to the Parents Participate Group!

This is an online community which aims to provide a space to share ideas, tips and real life experiences about parental involvement in local and national decision-making to make a real difference to the lives of children with disabilities and their families.

We hope this community will support parent carers and professionals involved in the Parent Participation Project to work together as this is the most effective way to improve the lives of our children and young people with disabilities. This partnership is so important in the development of services which are truly responsive to the needs of the child.

We are also very keen to hear from parent carers or professionals across the country who are committed to parent participation and improving services for children with disabilities.

If you have any questions please email the PPP team at ppp@treehouse.org.uk or post a question in the feedback and help section of the forum.
