We will explore the realities of being a parent carer—balancing the rewards with the exhaustion, isolation, and emotional toll, while shining a light on support gaps and why self-care is essential, not optional.
In this episode we talk about something we're incredibly passionate about. The audacity of three parent carers believing they could train professionals to make a difference for children like ours.
We will talk about the Welsh Governments’ Parent Carer ALN toolkit. What it will look at, what it says and the reality for us as parent carers.
In this episode we stop and think about a well known saying ‘it's okay to not be okay’ and unpick what is really behind it.

This series is about what is really means to be a parent carer, the power of lived experience and how parents and professionals can work together in genuine partnership to be the change we want to see for children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN).
Voices 4 Bettws is a parent-led training program built from real experiences of navigating the ALN system in Wales. It’s rooted in community, trust and the belief that families and professionals working side by side can create better outcomes for children.
Across these episodes we will be sharing honest conversations, practical insight and the reality behind policies and processes. We will explore what works, what doesn’t work and what needs to change so that the support truly meets families where they are. This series is about listening, learning and building a system that puts children first.
