Everyone who uses SEND services in Suffolk asked for feedback in new inspection survey

The inspection, which looks at how Suffolk County Council and NHS health partners, support young people with SEND, and their families, will last for three weeks.

As part of this inspection, young people, parents and carers who use SEND services are being encouraged to give feedback as part of an online Ofsted survey.

Councillor Rachel Hood, Cabinet Member for Education, SEND and Skills, said:

"It is important that Ofsted get a full picture of SEND services in Suffolk and day to day experiences.

"They would like to hear for everyone - those who have opinions about where improvement can be made and those who are satisfied with the services they receive. Every voice is welcome."

The survey can be found here https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/p/AreaSend/10284398 and will close at 9am on 7 November.

The purpose of the inspection is to provide an independent, external evaluation of the effectiveness of Suffolk's partnership arrangements for children and young people with SEND. The publication date for the report is not yet known.
