Pinpoint Cambridgeshire Cambridgeshire's Parent Carer Forum
A voice for Cambridgeshire SEND parent carers with children with additional needs and disabilities. We aim to provide:
1.

Easy access to good quality information for parents.
2. A central website for parent groups and organisations to share information on the services they offer.
3. A parental involvement network that supports the participation of parents in making important decisions that will lead to improved services for all. Our page is just one way to get involved with pinpoint. You can come along to our network meetings, connect with us at twitter.com/pinpointcambs or join our email network.

⚖️💙 LEGAL TERMS AND WHAT THEY ACTUALLY MEAN CAN BE SO CONFUSING!

It can feel daunting enough when our children become adults, but even more so when they have additional needs that can make thinking about the future worrying.

Steina from W&P Legal will be joining us to cut through some of the legal jargon and explain things in a way that makes sense.

Together, we will look at what legal support we can put in place, what it actually does and what it means for our young person as they move into adulthood.

Most importantly, how can we continue to make sure our young person remains at the centre of decisions about their welfare, safety and happiness?

💙 Come along, ask questions and get a clearer understanding of some of the legal options that can help us plan for our children’s futures.

💙 WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR FAMILY, YOUR WAY?

Parents are the experts when it comes to their children. But when our family does not fit the “norms”, having the confidence to do things our way can be hard.

We are delighted to welcome Eve Richards to explore parent carer confidence and the importance of taking a whole-family approach.

Together, we will challenge some of the expectations and “shoulds” placed on families, look at how one person’s experiences can ripple through the whole family, and importantly, recognise and celebrate what works for your family, your way.

Drawing on her professional experience across youth work, alternative provision, mental health, SEND, participation and co-production – alongside her own lived experience as a parent carer of three neurodivergent children – Eve will share practical ideas and create a safe space for honest conversations, reflection and shared learning.

💙 An opportunity to step away from judgement and comparison and towards confidence, choice and finding what works for your family.

📣 Has your child experienced school suspension or exclusion?

The Department for Education wants to hear from parents and carers about proposed changes to school exclusions, as part of the Government's Schools White Paper published in February 2026.

The proposals include changes to internal suspensions, support when children return to school and providing schoolwork during suspension.

💙 For families of children with SEND, this is an opportunity to share your experiences – what worked, what didn't and what needs to change.

📅 Closes 19 November 2026
