Mum and Dad know best? Getting Feedback from Parents on Services for Kids

In my work in Walthamstow I seem to spend a lot of time with people who are parents of young children or about to become parents soon. Whether with the voluntary groups I work with or in being a school governor with responsibiity for the Children's Centre at Sybourn, when I do meet them I always get (good and bad) feedback on policy and ideas about how we can improve services given their experience. Now with all the interest in Walthamstow it seems to me a good chance to take that ad hoc process one step further. If anyone is interested in being part of an NCT informal parents coffee group to act as a sounding board for children's services I'd be happy to help organise it. So too, anyone else who is part of a local SureStart board or a school governor would also be welcome to join in and use the group to share ideas for our local childrens services. In the first instance indications of interest in taking part and the age of the children would be great.
