A practical invitation for providers, councils, charities, funders and community organisations who want parent carers to access support more easily.
Partner invitation
We welcome local adult learning, employment support, careers, SEND, carers and community organisations that want to make their services more accessible to unpaid parent carers of disabled children and young people.
Trusted outreach, culturally aware peer support, confidence-building, practical barrier-removal conversations and follow-up after referral so carers are not left to navigate systems alone.
Specialist learning, careers, volunteering, wellbeing or employment support services that can help carers progress once they feel ready and informed.
Clear information, warm introductions, accessible sessions and support that respects caring responsibilities, fatigue, confidence, digital access, travel and language needs.
Collaboration model
Connect with parent carers through trusted local and community networks.
Understand goals, barriers, confidence, access needs and readiness.
Make warm referrals to appropriate learning, volunteering or work support.
Check whether the introduction worked and what support may still be needed.
Referral pathway for local partners
If your organisation is already supporting a parent carer or family and you have permission to share their details, use this route to make a warm referral to OAKonsult. We will review the information and contact the parent carer or referrer as appropriate.
Please only share personal details where the parent carer has agreed for you to do so.
Tell us the broad support need, useful contact details and any communication or access needs.
The team will review the referral and consider the most appropriate next step.
Where suitable, OAKonsult will contact the parent carer or referrer to continue the conversation.
Important: This form is not an emergency service. If someone is at immediate risk, please contact emergency services or the relevant safeguarding/statutory service first. Information submitted here will be used by OAKonsult to assess the referral and make contact.
Complete the form below with consent from the parent carer. Please keep details factual and relevant to the support requested.
Ready to collaborate?
Tell us what your organisation offers and who is eligible. We will explore how OAKonsult can support outreach, readiness and warm referrals.
