Rainbow Parents Carers Forum
About Rainbow Parents Carers Forum
Who are we?
Rainbow Parents Carers Forum welcomes both Nottingham City and the Nottinghamshire families. We are a support group and voice for parents/carers who have a child with a disability or additional needs. Our objectives are to promote and support the well-being of parents and carers and all children of these families via our network of peer support. Key to our objectives is to participate in and influence local decision making on services for disabled children, young people and their families. We believe that a quality approach to participation of parents and carers improves outcomes and creates better services.
