Introduction to Consultation on SEND Reform

Tell us how the proposed SEND reforms are likely to affect your family.

South Glos Parent Carers (SGPC) are the local parent carer forum for parents and carers of children and young people (aged 0-25) with special educational needs and disabilities.
..
The government has published the Schools White Paper, Every child Achieving and Thriving, and the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) consultation document, SEND Reform: Putting Children and Young People First.
.
Feedback is being gathered by the Government on the proposals. Your feedback is key to helping ensure that decisions that are made are informed and positive.
.
There are two ways that you can have your say:
.
Option One: Through the Government Consultation Survey on SEND reform,.Putting Children and Young People first There are 39 questions in the government survey; please note you don't need to answer every question.

Option Two: Through SGPC. We will be running eight bite-sized surveys on the various aspects of the Consultation. We will be responding directly to the Consultation Survey, sharing the voices of our families as gathered through our events, drop in support and from our surveys. We will also share this information with the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF) who feed information directly into the Consultation process.

We want to hear from you if your children have any additional needs, conditions, impairments or disabilities (diagnosed or undiagnosed), so we can represent all of our families' voices across South Gloucestershire. Your responses to our surveys are completely confidential. Any information or data we do share will be fully anonymised to protect your privacy.
The survey has been broken down into categories to help make this process more manageable. Please refer to our website for links to all surveys on this.
.
If possible, we would always recommend that you complete both feedback options.
..
This is the first in our series of bite-sized surveys. It will take around five minutes to complete.
