Laura joined Bristol Parent Carers in September 2025 as the PINS Coordinator. PINS (Partnership for Inclusion and Neurodiversity in Schools) was an early intervention project that brought together parent carers, local authorities and SEND practitioners to improve support for neurodivergent pupils in schools. Laura then joined the Parent Voice Team in July 2026 working on co-production projects with local partners and sharing parent experience in the hope of improving SEND services for families.

As a parent carer to two neurodivergent children herself, Laura is passionate about supporting SEND families and enabling their voice to be heard at strategic level to drive positive change. Laura has recently started a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. When her course is completed she hopes to bring her training to her work at BPC and advance our wellbeing offer to parent carers.
