Thank you for being part of our Just Say Annual Conference at Dagenham and Redbridge Football Club on 5th March 2025!
It was fantastic to see so many parents, carers, professionals and stallholders (and a very little one!) come together this year. We had the opportunity to engage with information and updates from Emma Sparrow (Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health), Denise Edwards (NHS NELFT), Elaine Allegretti & Jane Hargreaves and colleagues (LBBD). A special shoutout to Trinity Rock Band for their wonderful performance!
Together we have the power to create real change. Let’s celebrate the amazing highlights of Just Say Forum work last year:
- We provided translation of our Just Say Forum leaflets and website in multiple languages.
- We reached out to many community spaces, special schools, CYP Disability Hub, Axe Street Children and Family Health Centre (NHS) to spread the word about what we offer and make connections.
- We worked in partnership with Sycamore Trust, Addup and BDSIP and also with the LA to deliver training sessions tailored to the unique needs of parents and carers.
- We are proud to have shared the voices of parents carers at the many conferences including the Safeguarding Conference, the Inclusion Conference, and the Learning Disability and Autism Conference.
- We continued to keep abreast of developments in parent carer participation by actively attending National Network of Parent Carer Forums Annual Conference, CONTACT training sessions, and London Parent Carer Forums Cluster meetings.
And there’s so much more to explore!
