Dorset Parent-Carer Council

"We are a core of people each having different experiences but actually hold a lot of knowledge that the Services need to listen to" - Parent

We were formed in June 2009 and so far, have over 120 members spread across the whole of Dorset. Our membership is growing daily.

We are made up of parents of children who have a variety of special needs from complex medical to challenging behaviour to learning or physical difficulties and more.

Our aim is to help improve the lives and opportunities for families and children and young people who are disabled in Dorset. We are doing this by being a voice to inform all agencies and services about the needs of disabled children and their families in Dorset.

We are already members of several professional boards and are receiving invites weekly to become involved with other services and agencies providing information, telling them what matters to us and questioning their plans.
