As a strategic partner within the local SEND system, we work collaboratively with the local authority, health services, education providers, and voluntary sector organisations to ensure that the voices and experiences of parent carers help shape local services, policies, and decision-making. We listen and share your voices to try and support improvements that lead to better outcomes for children, young people, and their families.
