SEND Futures Survey

Response - 14 June 2023

When a child or young person has a special educational need/disability (SEND), there are often lots of different organisations involved in providing the education, health and social care support needed for that individual to achieve their potential.

Richmond Council, the Integrated Care Board and Achieving for Children have asked Healthwatch Richmond to  collect information and improve support provided to children and young people with SEND.

We are interested in your views on support across all of education, health and social care for children and young people from birth (for example from health visitors) up to 25 years (for example from employers and supported housing providers). This survey is open until the 28th July so please share your views on the support available now and what you would like it to be in the future. It should take you less than 20 minutes to complete but if you wish to spend longer sharing your views and ideas that’s fine too.

The survey is now closed. The report will be available to read soon.
