2 Who are Contact a Family? Our Story We were founded in the 1970s by families with disabled children. They recognised that even if their child s conditions were different, they shared a common experience that of being a family with a disabled child. They understood how important it is to support each other. Today everything we do is about improving the lives of families with disabled children. We achieve this by working directly with parents and carers, and we are driven by what they tell us is important. We are proud of the way we work in partnership, with knowledge and with great warmth. Our vision is that families with disabled children feel valued and are strong, confident and able to make the decisions that are right for them. We aim to ensure Families with disabled children know how to get the right support, for them and their families. Families with disabled children are confident to deal with the challenges they face. The financial disadvantage that families with disabled children face has been alleviated. Families with disabled children are understood, valued and included as equal participants in their communities and in society.
3 Our services We support families, whatever their child s disability or health condition, with a wide range of life-changing help and class-leading services. We do this in the following three ways. We enable families to support themselves Via our national free-phone helpline. By publishing information and parent resources on our website. We run workshops and information sessions. We provide medical information on hundreds of disabilities and conditions. We advise parents in six children s hospitals across the UK. We enable families to support each other Parent support groups.

4 For For professionals professionals Working together: Co-production Co-production is about developing equal partnerships between the people who use services and their carers, and those who run them. It s a methodology for close engagement and achieving genuinely beneficial results for all involved. We work with local authorities, health & social care services, retailers, and others, to help them to work productively with families to deliver great services which promote good health and inclusion. Who is this for? Any local authority, public service, or private sector business which has families as customers. Developing parent carer forums Parent carer forums are one of the most effective routes to engaging successfully with families of disabled children. They re recognised on the national level in England, with 82,000 parents connected to a forum. This training course supports the devolved administrations to establish and develop forums, and to make them a mutually beneficial part of the local education, health & social care landscape. Who is this for? Central and local government bodies in the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. 4 Contact a Family Training Brochure
5 Helping you work successfully with families with disabled children Supporting parent carers: Everything you ever wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) No-one s ever asked about Me before. A phrase we hear a lot from parent carers. Understanding how you can best meet the needs of parent carers is vital to supporting your business or public service. This course will give you valuable real-world insights into the lives of families with disabled children, and a tool kit for supporting them. Who is this for? Any local authority, public service, or private sector business which has families as customers. Good practice and the law in delivering the SEND reforms: Reducing the risk of a formal challenge Anyone working in education or social care will be familiar with their Section 19 responsibilities for delivering SEND reforms. When things go wrong, everyone loses out. Tribunals are adversarial, costly, and wasteful. We know councils want to work in partnership with parents and young people, but this can be challenging. This course gives you the information, advice, and support you need to reduce the risk of formal challenge and to deliver great SEN services. Who is this for? Education, social care, and health professionals, school governors or academy trustees with a responsibility for delivering SEN reforms, notably Education and Health Care plans.

6 For families For families Available for commission by professionals Building resilience and wellbeing for parents Parent carers work exceptionally hard to support their child. They need a wide array of skills, and receive little financial support. This course is designed to address stress, build resilience and wellbeing, and lead to real improvements in both mental and physical health as a result. Who is this for? Parents who would benefit from increased resilience and well-being, or who suffer from significant stress Getting a good night s sleep A child who doesn t sleep well can affect the whole family. Disabled children are more likely to experience problems with sleeping, which in turn affects educational and social performance. This course promotes an understanding of the cause of sleep problems, and reveals effective methods for improving sleep patterns. It also discusses strategies for supporting tired parents. Who is this for? The parents or carers of young children who have difficulty sleeping. 6 Contact a Family Training Brochure
7 Helping you work successfully with families with disabled children Dealing with challenging behaviour Disabled children may present as having challenging behaviour for a variety of reasons. It s vital to understand the source and type of this behaviour, and how it can be managed effectively and sensitively. This course provides attendees with essential understanding and techniques for how to deal with it. Who is this for? The parents or carers of young children who have difficulty with challenging behaviour Money matters Families with children with additional or complex needs often have lower-than-average incomes, while simultaneously facing higher living costs as a direct result of those additional needs. This course provides an understanding of the range of financial help families can access, and demystifies the benefits system. The course was designed by our in-house expert welfare rights team, who have 30 years experience supporting families. Who is this for? Parents or carers who may be entitled to support from the benefits system, or who experience financial difficulty. Contact a Family Training Brochure 7

12 Our expertise Establishing a culture of parent carer participation in Jersey Why Jersey? The beauty of parent carer participation is that it can flourish in any environment, project or organisation. It s a way of working that requires cultural rather than legislative change. We are easily able to adapt our knowledge and experience to introduce the concept of parent participation to families, practitioners, and strategic partners anywhere. A self-governing island The Bailiwick of Jersey is part of the United Kingdom but is known as a Crown Dependency. This means it is autonomous and self-governing, with it s own independent administrative, legal and fiscal systems. The 2014 Children and Families Act and its associated codes and statutory duties do not apply in Jersey. However, that does not mean that there is no appetite for fostering a stronger culture of parent participation within its services. Members of the island s Health and Social Care teams had heard about parent carer participation and the difference it was making for families in England. They decided they wanted to develop a programme in Jersey along the same lines. Their aim was to help empower the parents of disabled children and achieve better outcomes for the families they serve. A flexible and bespoke package of support Following discussions about how communication was currently working between families and practitioners, we were able to design a flexible and bespoke support package which included: supportive consultancy services to help partners develop their own operational guidelines and protocols inclusive training both for professionals and parent carers to help them assume representative roles in their newly-created parent carer forum access to on-going virtual support via telephone access to a range of written, digital and other resources for the Jersey toolkit. 12 Contact a Family Training Brochure
13 How did we do it? Each of these elements was built on research and understanding of the specific challenges Jersey faces. We ve ensured their new parent carer forum, Parent Forum Jersey, is able to develop a relationship with the National Network of Parent Carer Forums. This means that Parent Forum Jersey has access to the latest news, information and learning webinars. They will also have connections to the wider network of 82,000 parent carers who contribute to parent carer forums across England. The package was designed to be flexible, enabling Parent Forum Jersey to call on our support as required, in recognition of the fact that forums don t mature overnight and issues can arise over time. You ve given me so much to think about... this will have a big impact on the way I work. I thought I knew what a parent carer forum might be, but there s a lot more to it! Looking to the future As a result of our consultancy, Jersey is now beginning to develop the structures necessary to move toward a model of self-help and empowerment for parent carers of disabled children. Once the forum is embedded, we will conduct a full evaluation to evidence the beneficial effects that meaningful parent carer participation is having in Jersey. We thought we d share a couple of comments we ve received while working with practitioners in Jersey. Contact a Family Training Brochure 13

15 FAQs Expertise Getting started Why is Contact a Family a trusted expert on sleep? We have worked with families and clinical experts for nearly 40 years to look at a variety of ways of helping children (and parents) to sleep. We have trained sleep practitioners, and we offer a parent-focussed course informed by our extensive work with parents.... and on managing challenging behaviour? In addition to our long-standing experience, we worked closely with the Challenging Behaviour Foundation to devise the content for our workshops.... and on managing money? We have a dedicated team on our freephone helpline who support parents to navigate the welfare system. Our helpline offers parents the chance to have extended discussions about their financial situation, with a particular focus on reducing financial disadvantage among those with disabled children. We also produce a wide range of guides and information to help parents to manage their finances. We ve gained a detailed and wideranging knowledge of the specific financial pressures families may come under, and we ve used this experience to develop our courses.... and on parent resilience and wellbeing? Our parent advisery team are qualified trainers and hold many other clinical and professional qualifications. Since we were established, we ve spent 40 years working with and speaking to parents to determine what works for them. Every two years we undertake a major piece of research to identify the current issues and challenges for the families we support. We also carry out broader research into wellbeing and mindfulness, and their impact on parent carers. In Northern Ireland we re about to start delivering an accredited programme of wellbeing training, which we plan to also roll out across England. Taken together, this expertise combined with our unique mission to support the whole family means we have a deep understanding of the causes and solutions for promoting family wellbeing.

16 For professionals professionals FAQs What is Contact a Family s background in co-production? We were founded in the 1970s by parents who wanted to develop mutual support while improving services for their children. They realised they had unique insight and expertise to share, and it was on that realisation that Contact a Family was founded. Today this means parent carer participation is in our DNA, and we pride ourselves on having strong parent carer representation and input at all levels of our organisation, including around 25 per cent of our staff. In the late 1990s, we began to influence the Government to adopt a co-production policy with parent carers when designing services. Today we have a strong, expert parent carer participation team delivering a major support programme to 150 parent carer forums across England. In recent years we have overseen a 23 per cent growth in membership of parent carer forums, while processing small grants to a combined value of 2.3 million on behalf of the Department for Education, a contract we have held since We founded the principle of parent carer forums in England, and grew the National Network of Parent Carer Forums in its early days. We continue to support its development as a strong national voice. Each year we host an annual parent carer forum conference, the largest single gathering for parent involvement and co-production in the UK. 16 Contact a Family Training Brochure
