Parents Advocacy, Guidance and Empowerment (PAGE)

For the last two years, the PAGE project has supported over 100 Sandwell parents/guardians with learning disabilities and/or autism. Focusing on parents whose children were subject to interventions from Children’s services, PAGE provided support by offering Independent Advocacy and Independent Living Skills support. PAGE are pleased to share that in 2025 they are expanding this service offer to support to any parents/guardians with learning disabilities and/or autism in Sandwell (not just those subject to interventions from Children’s services), through the provision of bespoke one-to-one holistic support, helping parents to overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals.

This support can help these parents to create healthier, happier and safer homes and increase their confidence, skills and support networks all of which maximises the chances of keeping the family unit together. PAGE are continuing to support Sandwell parents/guardians with learning disabilities and/or autism who are subject to interventions from Children’s Services through their Independent Advocate, who supports parents, ensuring their voices are heard and to help them navigate discussions, meetings and court hearings related to their case.
