Written by an experienced educator, specialist dyslexia tutor and award-winning, national, disability-inclusion campaigner. The book is in a dyslexia friendly format with tinted pages, a dyslexia friendly font and spaced text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book bridges the gap between professional knowledge and lived experience. It recognises a difficult truth: parent carers are often expected to become caseworkers, advocates, educators, therapists and administrators with little preparation and even less support.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Parent Carer provides a survival framework combining emotional resilience, rights-based advocacy, practical systems, and strategic thinking. The book positions parent carers not as passive recipients of services but as empowered and informed advocates navigating complex education, health and social care systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough clear explanations, real-world scenarios, advocacy scripts, checklists, and professional insight, the book helps readers move from crisis response to confident leadership of their child’s support journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_gmail-isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatalie Hay has worked in education for over twenty years, is a mother of two and changed government policy in 2024.
