We work closely with Health Boards, Local Authorities, regional partnership boards, and other voluntary sector organisations to ensure parent carers’ voices inform service design, policy, and practice. Projects like our Community Connectors, delivered with the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Neurodevelopment Team, exemplify how collaborative approaches can support families before and after assessment, reduce isolation, and prevent crises.We champion systemic change at every level, combining our lived experience and professional expertise to influence decision-making, and improve communication, pathways, and accessibility for families.Currently, over 2,400 parent carers actively engage with our services, and our wider digital reach supports over 10,000 people.
