About the Parents' Forum

The Brighton & Hove Parents' forum has been created to ensure that parents' voices are heard at a decision making level of the Children & Young People's Trust - which is the body that brings together Brighton and Hove City Council and the Primary Care Trust to run children's services across the city.

The forum also wants to promote the inclusion of all parents and carers across the city to influence and improve children and young person's services.

We are here as an additional and independent group to bring existing parent groups together to develop a strong, experienced voice.

A forum that can truly inform these services and will help parents to share their views and experiences of the children's services they have used and will use.

We want to give parents and carers as much information as possible about the future of those services that will affect their children, about the changes and improvements to be made and gain their opinions in order to feed them back at the highest level'.
