Portsmouth Parent Voice (PPV) – What is a parent carer forum?;

• PPV – is part of the voluntary sector and is supported by the Local Authority and the Department for Education. We are under the umbrella of Portsmouth Disability Forum, who are a registered charity.
• PPV – is for YOU, the parent carer of a child or young person with an additional or special need and/or disability; aged from 0 – 25 years old, to voice your opinions on what you would like for your child or young person.
• PPV will assist you to find the right support or service you need.
• PPV aims to have the voice and active involvement of parent carers in the service planning and decision-making processes within the local authority and how services are shaped and delivered locally for families with a disabled child or young person, and to make them more focused on the needs of the families with disabled children and young people.

This is YOUR opportunity to express your views about what your child or young person needs. Let them help to enable you to make your voice heard about what support your child or young person needs by contacting us either by telephone or email.
