What We Believe

We work closely with families, for families. Everything we do is carried out in the hope of improving the lives of our familie. We achieve this by working directly with parents and carers. We are driven by what they tell us.

We are ambitious. We believe that families with disabled children deserve better. That's why we won't stop until we have achieved our mission. We are driven to fight and advocate for what is right.

We transform lives. We drive innovation and change wherever it will benefit families with disabled children. We always focus on the impact we are having. Through this, we support the change t the lives of our families.

We challenge disadvantage. We tackle inequality wherever it exists, and we help our families to deal with the barriers they face on a daily basis.

We trust, and are trusted. That's because we always act in an open, transparent, and accountable manner. We work collaboratively to achieve more, and respect the strength and knowledge of others.

The Parent and Carer (PACS) project, established in October 2023, is dedicated to supporting parents and carers in Greater Manchester who are concerned about their child or worried they may be at risk of violence.
As parents and caregivers, we all worry about our children from time to time, but when a concern is troubling you it can be difficult to know where to turn. We have listened to parents and our research shows that caregivers are looking for one-to-one support, peer support, advice and guidance when their child's behaviour is becoming a concern.

Request a call back or make a referral and a member of the team will arrange a face-to-face appointment to get you started.

How can schools contact their school nursing team?

# data[].attributes.body
All Manchester schools have an allocated nurse as a point of contact.

However, we operate with a team approach to ensure we can support schools more effectively. This means referrals or support may be offered by any member of the team.

Team numbers and emails are provided in the spreadsheet.

Caseloads may be marked 'vacant' if we are awaiting a new member of staff. You may also notice some members of staff are currently on maternity leave. However, please still use the numbers/emails provided and you will be supported by another member of the team.
