HPCN:

 

Hampshire Parent Carer Network (HPCN) offers parent carers of children and young people aged 0-25 with an additional need (diagnosed or not) or disability the opportunity to tell the Local Authority, Health and other services, what life is really like. They use their lived-in experience to shape, challenge and ultimately improve services for our children and young people living in Hampshire. Professionals have a duty to listen to parent carers and with HPCN your voice will be heard loud and clear.

You can them by calling 0300 3034330 or by email participation@hpcn.org.uk.
