Access
Our office is DDA compliant with a ramp access and a downstairs office and meeting g Parent Carer Groups. I have covered the best part of the county and met up with many groups and organisations, if I have not been in touch with you as yet please do not hesitate to contact me. I have contacted all Parent/Family Carers within our organisation and am in touch and linking existing Support and Parent/Family Carer Groups to try to organise forums within different areas in Hampshire enabling carers to have a voice and influence the development of services and provision for the person for whom they care. If any carer has problems attending any forums/meetings there will be regular contact either by phone, email or personal visits. We will also keep them informed with up to date information in a regular newsletter that we will be compiling over the next few months. We hope to share information and provide support through the countywide network, on room.

Carers and those who support carers, e.g. professionals.
