We are delighted to welcome Claire Fisher to the NNPCF management team. Claire joins as our new Policy and Consultations lead and will lead on our work to make sure that all the feedback from our membership is reflected in the representations that NNPCF make to regional and national government and NHS. This includes formal responses to consultations and out talking points.
Claire joins us with a strong background in Children’s policy and research including a masters degree in SEND education and has been chair of governors of a local school.
Claire replaces Kay Moore who has been a stalwart of the NNPCF for the last 10 years. Before being our Policy and Consultations lead, Kay was a member of the NNPCF steering group. Kay is leaving to take on a senior role in SEND at a local authority.
NNPCF Co-chairs Tina Emery and Mrunal Sisodia said, “We are really excited to welcome Claire to the NNPCF management team. Her passion, knowledge and experience shone through in her application, and we know that she will help us lead the NNPCF through the policy challenges that children and young people with SEND face over the coming years.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Kay for everything she has done for the NNPCF. She has been hugely important in the growth and development of the NNPCF and her work as policy lead has transformed the way in which the NNPCF represents families with SEND at a national and regional level. We will miss her warmth and compassion and wish her all the best in her new role.”
On her appointment, Claire said, “I am delighted to have been given this opportunity to join the NPPCF in representing the collective lived experience of parents. I am passionate about co-production, and I look forward to working with parents and professionals to make a difference for families around the country”
On leaving the team, Kay said, ”After working for the NNPCF for many years, firstly as the steering group member for the London Region and more recently as the Policy Lead it is now time for me to pass the baton on. It has been a real privilege to be part of the NNPCF and I can honestly say I have loved every minute! I wish you all the very best as the NNPCF continues to develop as an organisation. You are all truly amazing. Keep up the good work!!
