Voice4Parents is a group of parents and carers whose children have a range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We gather the views of parents and carers to find out what’s working well and where improvements can be made across education, health and care services. Your views help us identify key issues that are affecting families so that we can work with service providers and make positive changes.
We are currently working in partnership with City Of Wolverhampton Council and Healthcare providers to implement a new Autism Strategy. Parent Participation is required to influence and shape this.
Parents and Carers alike have informed us that services for those with ASD need to be improved, both in terms of access and availability.
With this in mind, Wolverhampton aim to become an "Autism Friendly" City by 2021.
Autism friendly means being aware of social engagement and environmental factors affecting people on the autism spectrum, with changes to communication methods and physical space to better suit individual's unique and special needs. We want to collect your views on how Wolverhampton could better provide for you/your family member with ASD and ultimately become inclusive for everyone.
