Shaping services for children and young people with SEND

The survey, which has been co produced by Families in Partnership and Worcestershire Children First, seeks the views of parents and carers on services for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and is one of the ways that we ask for feedback.

The survey is an essential contribution to the co-production on our SEND improvement. Worcestershire Children First values the feedback as it helps to build on what is working well, ensure we are making progress and highlights areas where further work is needed.

Councillor Marcus Hart, Cabinet Member for Education at Worcestershire County Council, said: “We take the feedback from parent carers very seriously and remain committed to working more collaboratively and effectively with them to improve and provide a better service and outcomes for our vulnerable children and young people across Worcestershire.

It is important that we hear what experiences are like for children and young people with SEND and their parent carers in order to help shape services, improving both experience and outcomes, going forward.”

Iona Walton, Chair of Families in Partnership, the Worcestershire Parent Carer Forum, said: “Families in Partnership are working closely with Worcestershire Children First and partners to improve services. To enable us to represent you we need to understand your experiences and I would encourage any parent carer to take time to complete the survey and give their views to help us to do that.”
