What Is 'Special Voices'?

Special Voices is a group of parents and carers of children and young people with special/additional needs. We are all volunteers working in partnership with voluntary and statutory organisations. The main aim of Special Voices is to raise awareness about the rights and needs of children/young people with additional needs and to ensure that they and their families are consulted and involved in any decisions made during planning or developing services for them. Special Voices has a main steering group of voluntary parents and carers who have taken on the role of gathering your collective views and presenting them to service planners and decision makers in order to ensure that services are needs-led.

  • Would you like to know more about who can become involved with Special Voices?

If you are a parent or carer who has English as a second language Special Voices can provide bi-lingual link workers to represent your views.

  • If you are a parent or a carer of a child or young person with additional needs and live in Slough, you can become involved in any way you choose.

Special Voices is unable to tackle single issues that parents and carers have about their own child/young person. Personal issues need to be addressed directly with the service providers or individuals involved with your child’s care. However, Special Voices can help with signposting to the relevant services
