Herts Parent Carer Involvement (HPCI)
HPCI is the parent carer forum for Hertfordshire and part of a national network of parent carer forums. We are an independent parent carer led organisation with a network of parent carers from all over Hertfordshire.
It is a parent led organisation originally created as part of the Government’s Aiming High for Disabled Children agenda to get parents more involved in the shaping and improving of services
It can keep you informed about developments and services, gather your views on your experiences across education, health and social care and invite you to our events.
Hertfordshire Additional Needs Database (HAND)
If you are the parent or carer of a child or young person with an additional need or disability aged 0-25 years you can join the Hertfordshire Additional Needs Database (HAND)
To join HAND the child or young person’s special needs will have a substantial impact on their everyday life. They are likely to need additional support, adjustments and/or aid and adaptations to help them at school and at home.
