So what is a parent carer? - Extended full length version.

What does that even mean?

We look at first hand experiences of 4 parent carer guests who talk about relationships, friendships, what life is like once you find out your child has additional needs and the art of letting go of the expectations that you had when your child was born or as they grow up.

A perfect episode for those who have just discovered that their child has additional needs, or for someone who has met a parent that has a child with additional needs and want to understand what it can be like, or for someone who has been a parent with a child with additional needs and are lost, or feel alone.

We are joined by Tina Coope - Education Lead for Pans and Pandas UK, the organisation behind sharing information around these conditions.

PANS PANDAS UK, the only UK charity supporting children, young people and their families affected by these conditions, provides trusted health information, school focused guidance including CPD accredited teacher training and an individual healthcare plan template to support education settings recognise symptoms and plan appropriate support.

Practitioners can also access both dedicated education materials and health information, including a free online CPD‑accredited MIMS training module relevant for all health professionals.
