Dear parents…

Dear parents…

Do you want to have a say in healthcare services that are provided for you in the borough? We are collating your stories to get your voices heard. ‘Parent Voices’ is a report that is given directly to those who fund your healthcare services. If you would like to tell us your story about raising a child with disability in City & Hackney, contact director@huddlestoncentre.org.uk

Stories start from diagnosis… through to the present day. What was/is your experience? If you have had a good service we want to know, if a terrible experience we want to hear that too! You will remain anonymous.

Caring for a disabled child/young person can be challenging. Even the most experienced parents and/or carers will sometimes need someone to hear about the difficulties they are facing on a daily basis. By working with families, disabled children/young people in this way, issues can be prevented from escalating as services are adapted to the needs of the families,

You dictate the level of contact to suit you. It’s all about what works for your individual family. Our reports and recommendations to the Clinical Commissioning Board can then offer long-term opportunities for parents to feedback.Your participation and Parent/Carer Support Forums leads to better outcomes for disabled young people and their families.
