Welcome to Calderdale Parent and Carers Council

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the Calderdale Parent and Carers Council.

We are parents working together to create change so all our children and young people can learn, make friends and have a voice and be part of ordinary school and community life.

We support families of children and young people who have special educational or additional needs, are disabled, have emotional and behavioural difficulties or are experiencing difficulties fitting with school or community life for any reason.

We do this by holding regular family events, parent information and informal support sessions. We also signpost parents and give practical and emotional support.

We help to give skills and tools to families, children and young people to work together with service providers to make a difference in Calderdale.
