Meet the team
A few of the parents and carers who keep the forum going. Every one of us has a child with SEND.
Priya Shah
Chair
My eldest waited three years for an autism assessment. I got involved so the next family doesn't have to fight as hard as we did.
Mark Devlin
Treasurer
Dad to twins, one with an EHCP and one being assessed. I keep the books and make sure the money goes where it helps.
Sara Okafor
Peer support lead
I run the Tuesday coffee morning. The first time I walked into one of these, someone said "yeah, us too" and I cried with relief.
Jen Hollis
Parent representative
I sit on the SEND strategy group. Someone has to be in the room saying what it's actually like at 8am on a school morning.
