Richmond parent/carer forum
Richmond and Hounslow Parent Carer Forum’s (PCF) are an independent group run by parents for parents or carers of children/young people (aged 0 – 25 years) who have any form of special educational need or disability. Your child does not need an official diagnosis for you to become a member and we support families of children with any type of additional need including learning difficulties like dyslexia.
