Children & Young People Support

The HOPE study aims to explore any differences in the extra support received by children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across England.
They are asking the following groups to share their experiences of SEND support in their local area and if you are eligible yourself, we would greatly appreciate your participation:
1.     Children and young people with SEND (aged 11-27)
2.     Parents/Carers of children and young people with SEND
3.     SEND professionals in or working closely with education/health/social care
The information from these surveys will be used to help improve SEND provision for children and young people in the future.
The surveys are open until the 30th September and we would really appreciate it if you could share the link to the survey in any upcoming newsletters or webpage/social media posts.
