Gloucestershire Families

Gloucestershire Advocacy Service

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, we are able to offer families in Gloucestershire with disabled children a limited number of free hours to help advocate for and empower families to get the best outcomes. Our team of brilliant Family Support Workers and Advocates all have vast knowledge on all areas of SEN and disability so will be able to help and support you on your journey.

This support might include individual support for your family, help preparing for and attending meetings with any agency supporting your child (assessments, reviews, planning meetings, child protection conferences, EHCP reviews, health care planning meetings etc); supporting you to make effective complaints; facilitating meetings between you and professionals to ensure effective communication; helping you through complex procedures, writing letters, putting across their views etc.

​

If you need support, please fill in our support form and we will get back to you within 5 working days. If your request is urgent, please email triage@parentandcareralliance.org.uk after filling in your form and we will try to prioritise your case. Please note, this is an independent service and not a statutory one. We occasionally have to put a waiting list up in busy periods but will endeavour to support as many families as possible.
