Hello, I’m Tina Emery.
With over 30 years of experience in education, residential social care, and youth work, I am passionate about hearing the voices of children, young people, parents, and carers.
In May 2014, I became involved with the Somerset Parent Carer Forum, where I initially joined to collaborate with Somerset’s Local Authority and the Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group. At that time, we had just 260 members and a small leadership team of two managing all participation work. I established an online parent carer support group, growing it from 10 members to over 1,500 in a decade, and in 2016, we formally established the forum as a Community Interest Company CIC to accommodate our expanding membership, which now exceeds 2,000.
Each forum supported by the Department for Education’s participation grant is part of the National Network of Parent Carer Forum (NNPCF) CIC. This national network includes 153 local forums, reflecting England’s local authority areas, and is made up of 155,000 parents and carers of children and young people with SEND.
In 2017, I became the Southwest Steering Group member for the NNPCF, and in 2019, I was elected Co-Chair. Through my roles within the NNPCF, I have actively participated in numerous national boards and collaborated closely with national government entities, including the Department for Education, NHS England, and Ofsted. I have also worked closely with regional government teams, playing an instrumental role in building a strong, collaborative relationship with NHS England in the Southwest.
In 2023, I was awarded an OBE in the King’s first birthday honors. I have been a member on several significant government boards, including the Department for Education’s Vulnerable Children’s Board, the SEND and AP Improvement Group, the Alternative Provision Advisory Group, and the Attendance Action Alliance.
