Following our Round 1 project we are continuing our work with the parents of children with a disability and expect:

• Establish a scheme in East Cornwall to reduce gaps in Parent 2 Parent service provision by:
  
  • Recruiting and training parent volunteers
  • Reducing identified gaps in service e.g. for parents of children with a disability in rural and coastal isolation.
  • Extending our service and training capacity to other parents and hard to reach groups by developing a parent-led steering group
• Provide targeted support to local parents throughout Cornwall by:
  
  • Organising Family Events/Days
  • Developing parents' confidence to access further training, employment and volunteering opportunities
• Offering more training opportunities to parents of disabled children by:
  
  • Developing and sustaining a parent-led steering group so that future provision is led by parents
  • Training experienced parent volunteers to become confident in engaging gain with parents
• Working with partners to develop information and resources by:
  
  • Developing parental training resources and expertise within the county
  • Researching the possible development of a helpline and information service with local partners
