This is an example Parents' Interactive Site for Learning to Change Cumbria, who are working alongside the Local Authority with the support of
Contact a Family to help bring change to the way services are accessed
and improved..part of the Parent/Professional implementation, under the "Aiming High for Disabled Children (AHDC)- Every Child Matters" Government initiative. more here

The website & most parts of the Forum are open for guests to peruse without registering, have a look round, use the Search above...click the flowers below! To post comments, questions or Calendar Events, just Register (and click
the activation email received) , and click the
forum tab above or these flowers!
Once you have registered and have been confirmed as part of one of the local groups, you can have access to the local non public discussion areas... ie only south lakes members could view and post in the
south lakes board/ non public area.... (we have added non public areas to each category)
This way people can read and make comments in their own time, perhaps in advance of the local meetings, thus perhaps also saving the group sending out 20+ emails back and forth on each proposal/decision or upcoming event (which also don't reach those not on email lists), and thus allowing more to participate and perhaps help better refine meeting agenda . Following these meetings, feedback etc can also be posted here too. This way information will be in a separate independent area available to everyone, and future members can 'catch up' on what has happened perhaps before they got involved with the group. It could certainly assist bringing folks up to speed. eg see change in cumbria for blondes
We can also start to assemble what is already available in-county;
resources, groups, facilities and contacts open to all to view, although much of this will be available soon on the revamped Aiming High Cumbria County Council site where minutes and much information is going to be put.
