Derbyshire Parent Carer Voice (DPCV) is a registered charity run by volunteers who are parent carers for children and young people who are disabled and /or have special educational needs.
The members are all deeply passionate about what they do. DPCV are independent of the Local Authority, but work together with services across, health, education and social care to ensure the parent carer voice is heard.
- We do this to improve services to ensure all young people get to have an equitable opportunity to realise their potential.
- Our aim is to empower parent carers, by networking and sharing knowledge
- We do this so parent carers do not feel they are alone.
To contact DPCV, please email: info@derbyshireparentcarervoice.org or take part in one of the events.

Local Support Group Survey
One of DPCV's current initiatives is to build a comprehensive network of support groups available to parents and carers across Derbyshire. DPCV's new website has launched, and they plan to feature an interactive map highlighting the various support groups in the region.
To make this happen, they need your help! They've created a short survey and would appreciate it if you could take a few moments to complete it. By sharing details about any support groups you are aware of, whether it's a local coffee meet-up, or something more structured, you'll be helping us connect parents and carers in need of vital peer support.

Peer-to-Peer Support
Some of the best support and ideas come from talking with others in a similar situation who can empathise and share what works for them.
