Survey 2024

Joanne Southall • July 4, 2024

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to parent carers who have taken the time to fill out our 2024 survey.


We understand the frustration of sharing lived experiences without seeing an impact. We have read hundreds of comments from survey participants, and each one has touched our hearts. We want to assure parent carers that their voices have been heard and fed back to leaders in the Council and the SEND Strategy Board. As a result, there is a commitment from those at the very top to address concerns working in equal partnership with parent and carers. We will keep members and the wider community updated as we take recommendations from the survey into actionable steps with professionals and key stakeholders.
