Parent Carer Forum - Luton

Empowering Parents, Influencing Change in Luton (EPIC Luton) is the official Department for Education (DfE) funded Parent Carer Forum (PCF) for Luton Borough.

As a group of parents and carers of children and young people aged 0-25 who have additional needs and/or special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), we have formed a committee to re-establish a PCF in this area to give SEND families a collective voice.

Our Aim

Our aim is to make sure that services in Luton meet the needs of SEND children and their families. We will do this by working with other parents and carers to understand the issues they may be facing and the needs of parents in Luton, so when we are engaging with professionals we are able to communicate parental perceptions, experiences and work together with them to help to address issues identified. In addition, we aspire to provide parents and carers opportunities to benefit from each other’s experiences and make informed choices for their children.
