Welcome to the Bromley Parent Voice website.

Bromley Parent Voice is a forum that aims to be a voice to inform service providers of the needs of children and young people with a disability or additional need and their families by facilitating two–way communication between parent/carers and service providers in the London Borough of Bromley.

The Forum will work to provide feedback on services, identify unmet needs and shape decision-making and planning for future service provision.

Parent Voice believes that by working co-operatively with local service providers parents can contribute to improvements in the services delivered for children and young people with a disability or additional need.

This will be achieved:

• Through regular communication with parent/carers, ensuring they are able to decide when to be involved in a particular piece of work/consultation. The Forum will act as a reference group for service providers.
• By ensuring a diverse forum membership and representation of views of parents/ carers of children and young people with additional needs disabilities from all backgrounds and sectors of the Borough.
• By promoting a reputation and image of Bromley Parent Voice which reflects its aims and values.
