WHAT WE DO
Delivering Results, Transforming Services
At Parent & Carer Alliance, we regularly participate in exciting projects that are aimed at improving the lives of disabled children. We participate in valuable research to help make lived experience visible and ensure that our communities collective views and experiences are heard loud and clear. Together, we can make a difference!
Take a look at the Projects we have been involved with
Direct Payments were meant to deliver independence. For too many families, they now deliver stress.
When Direct Payments were introduced, they were rightly promoted as a way to give disabled people greater independence, choice and control over their lives. The principle was simple: empower people to design support around their needs rather than forcing them into rigid, commissioned services.
Report on Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Parent and Carer Alliance C.I.C. has released new findings from a Gloucestershire-wide survey on swallowing difficulties and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). This exposes a severe lack of services, unsafe gaps in care, and the devastating consequences for children, young people, and their families.
Understanding Parent Blame

The challenge is helping professionals understand it too.
Because the deepest learning does not come from textbooks.
