Are you interested in supporting Wiltshire’s SEN decision making process and joining the WPCC’s team of volunteer parent carers?
The local authority has a quality assurance process to make sure that SEN decision-making is consistent, fair and in the best interests of the child or young person.
As a result of coproduction with parent carers, Wiltshire Council changed from having one ‘SEN panel’ to having a series of ‘Discussion and Decision Groups’ (DaD Groups).
Appointed volunteer parent representatives from the Wiltshire Parent Carer Council (WPCC) have been attending DaD1 Groups in an observer/moderator capacity for some time. The moderation does not alter existing decisions but ensures feedback from their observations supports opportunities for review of the process, and promotes consistency and transparency. WPCC volunteer parent representatives also seek to ensure that parent carer and child/young person voice, aspirations and wishes are presented in each case.
WPCC involvement in DaD1 Groups has been so popular, the WPCC has been asked to extend our volunteer parent carer involvement.
Join us in Devizes from 10:00am to 1:00pm on Tuesday 11th November to find out more. All parent carer attendees will have a chance of winning one of three £50.00 vouchers, even if you decide this voluntary role is not for you. All parent carer attendees can claim out of pocket expenses incurred by attending and free refreshments will be available. Please see attached poster (DaD Group Recruitment Advert for more information).
Booking is essential. There is a booking link on the poster, or click [HERE] to book your place.
Booking closes at 5:00pm on Thursday 6th November 2025.
