Kent Parents and Carers Together (PACT) (kentpact.org.uk)
A forum for parents and carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) within Kent local authority. PACT's aim is to make sure that services provided by education, health and care meet the needs of children with SEND and their families.
Kent PACT is a way to empower you as parents and carers and enable you to have your say. The combined voices of Kent PACT are fed into how services are designed and delivered in Kent. We are part of a National Network of Parent Carer Forums and are supported by parent led charities that you may know in your local area.
