You are a parent carer if you provide care to your child because they need extra support (due to a disability or additional needs - whether diagnosed or not).
At Wrexham Family Information Service (WFIS) we can help you find:
- Different kinds of support for you and your child
- Information for your family on your child’s disability or additional need
- Childcare that is suitable for your child
- Children’s activities that your child can join in with
You may also be able to find support, through the Disability Respite and Childcare Panel, with:
- Short term help with childcare costs
- Short term funding to help your child settle in to a new childcare setting
- Short term respite

If you have any questions about being a parent carer including support you might be able to get, contact our WFIS team.
