Objectives and Actlvltles
The charity's objectives and principal artivities are the promotion of social inclusion among
parents of chlldren and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and
Disabilities) who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of their
special educational needs and disability by:
l. providing education and infO￿atiOn to support and enable parents to maximise
educational opportunities for their children.
2. raising public awareness of the issues affecting families With children and young
people young people and families with SEND, both generally and in relation to their
social exclusion;
3. providing workshops, forums and general support.
The East Yorkshire Parent Ca￿r Forum (EYPCF) is a group of volunteers who are
representative of its community, ensuring pan disability representation. This means that a
forum representative will always represent the views of all the EYPCF membership at a
meeting, and not their own views.
Steering Group meetings and training embed this along wlth co-productive prattices.
Regular steering group meetings, communications and training offer the opportunity for all
representatives to expand their knowledge, question and understand the feedback from
the parents and carers so they can properly reflect the communities, views in the area
they are representing. Any parent or carer of a child or young person (0-25years old) wlth
an additional need can be a member and apply to be on the steering group or become a
Trustee, if there are vacancies, they m*t the criteria and they successfully complete the
training.
As a voluntary representstive organisation for families with additional needs this has
advantages and disadvantages.

Risks and Advantages to the Charity
The forum has worked hard to feedback about services and provision to all parties. It is
overall a well met challenge to have the capacity of volunteers to ensure information is
gathered and fed back to the relevant services, with outcomes fed back to parents and
carers. These actions enable a circle of monitoring and are the constant aim.
Continuity and communication: Due to the makeup of the organisation, it being a forum of
volunteers who are parents or carers, often required to take some downtime from the
forum to manage their personal commitments. Communication is very important, to share
and disseminate, to ensure if a volUnt￿r is absent the information is still shared
appropriately.
The great advantage of this is, volunteers a￿ often able to ask pertinent questions,
understand through lived eXperIen￿S those of the parent carers they listen to and
awareness of the seNices available in the local authority. This is a valuable resource to aid
commissioning of services for our children and young people as they often experience the
unintentional consequences of services.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Members of
East Yorkshire Parent Carer Forum
I report on the accounts of East Yorkshire Parent Carer Forum for the year ended 31
March 2025, which are set out on pages 13 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the p￿Paration of the accounts. The charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the
Charlties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Att).
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commi￿10nerS (under section 145(5)(b) of the 201L Act), and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the charity and a comparison of the accounts present&J with those records, It also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as Trustees Con￿rning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts,
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act
or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
