What is the Information Service?

A free and confidential service to give advice and support. For more details on our information service please contact Tracey Sams on admin@parentsconsortium.co.uk

Information at our fingertips

Our Family Advisers are a good source of information. Thanks to a specially designed computer information system KIF, they can get information on the spot.
These are just a few examples of subjects they can advise on:
  • Schools and further education
  • Social clubs
  • Benefits
  • Housing
  • Leisure opportunities
  • Support groups
  • Holidays
  • The law
  • Respite care
  • Service for children and adults
  • Other disabilities
Resource Library

The Information Service has a Resource Library containing a variety of publications which may be of interest to Parents Consortium members. These include books about Autism Spectrum Disorders, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD plus books on specific issues such as Toileting, Sleep Problems and explaining disability to siblings. We also have a selection of videos, some children’s audio books and a wide selection of resource catalogues.

Support Groups

We operate a number of support groups / drop-ins for parents, grandparents and carers of disabled children. These groups are overseen by a member of the Information Service staff but predominantly parent led, and gives the opportunity for parents to share their wealth of experiences and information. The dates for these meetings are given on our Diary Dates page.
