Swansea Parent Carer Forum

The Swansea Parent Carer Forum is a registered charity and an independent group of volunteer parent carers based in Swansea. The organization is dedicated to advocating for the needs of disabled children, young people, and adults, along with their families. It works closely with but is independent of the City & County of Swansea council[1][2].

Purpose and Vision

The forum's primary purpose is to influence change in local services by co-producing them with service providers like the Swansea Council. This involves ensuring that the voices of disabled individuals and their families are central to decision-making processes. The organization strives for an equitable and inclusive quality of life for all community members, reflecting the diversity of Swansea's communities and using a rights-based approach to empower its members[1].

Activities and Role

As part of its activities, the Swansea Parent Carer Forum engages with various local services including Children’s Services, Adult Services, Education, and Health services to ensure they meet the needs of families with disabled children and young people. By collaborating with these services, the forum aims to create a community where families' voices are valued and integrated into policies and service planning[1].

Position within the National Framework

While the Swansea Parent Carer Forum operates locally, it aligns with the broader objectives of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF), which serves as a national voice for similar forums across England. The NNPCF champions strategic participation of parent carers in service development and policy-making at both local and national levels[5].

Charity Status

The Swansea Parent Carer Forum is registered as a charity with the number 1189730, indicating its status as a formal nonprofit organization in the UK.

Leadership and Representation

The forum is led by volunteer parent carers who have personal experiences caring for children with disabilities. This lived experience is crucial in informing the organization's advocacy efforts and ensuring that policies and services are relevant and effective for those they serve[3].
