Information for parents and carers

The CFVI can be used to enable parents and carers to understand the pathways of support for their child and the services which might be involved in providing that support.

Download the guide

We’ve written this guide with the help of a group of parents to explain the content and purpose of the CFVI. We want parents and carers to understand the additional support that exists for their child and give them the confidence and language to be able to discuss their child’s education with teachers and other professionals.

Following the launch of the Parent Guide, we have worked together with parents to develop an FAQ which captures helpful questions asked by parents and the responses to these.

If you have any questions about the Parent Guide or the CFVI itself, please contact us by emailing: [email protected] with ‘CFVI Parent Guide’ in the subject line.
