What is a Parent Carer? The WPCC uses the term parent carer to mean anyone over 18 who provides care to a child or young person with Special Educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) for whom they have some parental responsibility. This does not have to be a parent, and could include a relative with caring responsibilities, a foster parent or adoptive parent for example. A child or young person has special educational needs and disabilities if they have a learning difficulty and/or disability that means they need special health and education support. They may or may not have a formal diagnosis, and SEND support can relate to a wide range of needs such as physical, sensory, learning, behaviour, social, emotional, mental health, communication, complex health needs, rare or undiagnosed conditions, amongst others.
