Discover LPCF – here to support SEND families

Are you a parent or carer of a child or young person with SEND, new to LPCF, feeling unsure what support is available, or a professional working with SEND families?
This friendly, informal session is designed to help everyone better understand how LPCF works — and how it can support the families you care about.

What is LPCF?

Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum (LPCF) is a community of over 4,700 parents and carers and 1,700 professionals, working together to improve SEND services across Lincolnshire.
We bring parent voices together and work alongside education, health and care services to co-produce change that makes a real difference.

What will this session cover?

This session is practical, supportive and easy to follow. We will:

Give a guided tour of the LPCF website and show where key information, support and resources live

Explain what LPCF does (and doesn’t do) and how we work as an independent parent-led forum

Share the different ways parents can give feedback — not just forms, but conversations, workshops and events

Highlight events, resources and support available to families

Explain how parent feedback is gathered and used to shape local SEND services

What parents and carers will get:

Help finding the right information without feeling overwhelmed

A clearer understanding of how LPCF can support your family

Reassurance that there are many ways to engage, at your own pace

A safe space led by parents who truly understand life with SEND

What professionals will get:

A clearer understanding of LPCF’s role, remit and independence

Insight into what matters most to local SEND families, directly from parent voices

Guidance on how to signpost families effectively to LPCF and its resources

An opportunity to strengthen co-production and partnership working

Greater confidence explaining LPCF to parents and carers you support

Why attend?

Whether you’re a parent, carer or professional, this session helps build shared understanding, stronger relationships and better outcomes for SEND families.

You don’t need to prepare anything or speak unless you want to — just come along and listen.
