Families Acting for Change Essex [FACE] is a parent led organisation that represents views and experiences of parents and carers of children and young people with disabilities and additional needs to influence the services they receive in Essex.
FACE welcome all families who have a child with a disability age 0-19 years. Family members can be involved within FACE at any level that suits them.
"Working in partnership with Essex County Council we can tell real life stories and help practitioners understand the true impact of having a child with a disability. We provide ideas and solutions to challenges families are facing, as well as helping write information so it’s fully understood by parents/carers. Do join us and have your say!" - Tracey Scriven CHAIR of FACE
