North Nottinghamshire Parent Carers Network

Are you a parent/carer of an adult with a learning disability and resident in Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark & Sherwood or Bassetlaw?

Do you want to have a say about the services affecting the person you care for or improve the services that support you a carer?

If so, come along to the Carers Network.

The Network is a recognised channel of communication between parents and carers of adults with learning disabilities and service providers in the NHS, local authorities and other public bodies.

The Forum has a formal consultation role and is carer led. Service providers are invited to attend to discuss current issues and plans.
