About Us
Highland Children’s Forum is a registered charity [SC031945] incorporated in 2000, created by the parent carers of children with additional support needs to attempt to ensure that the voice of these children was heard in the design and provision of services in the area. The Forum membership encompasses both individuals and many specialist groups that represent the concerns of specific conditions.
The work of the Forum is directed by a voluntary Management Committee elected by the membership. Because of its unique role it receives funding from the Joint Committee on Children and Young People through its “Changing Services” Fund. This funding allows for the employment of two part time staff. One is a specialist child consultation worker and the other acts as the development manager to the Forum. It also facilitates a partnership of children’s charities that has secured Unified Voluntary Sector Fund support for a collaborative base in Inverness.

I think for children to do their very best they need fresh air. I think that schools should have a garden for children to learn in and have outdoor lessons.”
