Lewisham Parent and Carers

Lewisham Parent and Carer’s Forum (LPCF) is a voluntary group of parents and carers of children and young people (0-25) with special/additional needs and disabilities (SEND) living in the London Borough of Lewisham.

We provide an opportunity for parents and carers to express their views and input into the planning and delivery of SEND services.

We signpost, support and empower families to obtain the best possible support and services for their children.
