Responding to national consultations and Calls for Evidence is an important role for the NNPCF. In doing so the NNPCF Board draws upon the experiences of parent carers from local forums and regional network meetings working together to effect local and national service improvement through participation and co-production.
Whenever we formulate a consolidated response to any national consultation, we publish them here. Whilst we cannot be aware of every consultation taking place in each Local Authority, we aim to keep up to date with what is happening at a national level.
From time to time we will make parent carers, parent carer forums, and our regional networks aware of any national consultations, including links to them, via email or through our social media platforms.
