We are also working with Parent Carers Together to develop and improve the social care section of the website. A parent/carer survey was carried out in April 2021 - read the results here. If you want to be involved in this piece of work please contact Parent Carers Together or email localoffer@bcpcouncil.gov.uk 

A Zoom meeting will be held on Monday 26 July 3pm to 5pm to continue discussions with parents and carers about how they want the section to look and what it should include. All are welcome. If you wish to join us, contact Beth Callis at Parent Carers Together for the meeting link. 

We welcome feedback on the Local Offer. Please share your comments and tell us if any local services not currently listed. You can use the feedback form, email us at localoffer@bcpcouncil.gov.uk or phone us on 01202 093131.
