SEND - HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE NEW GREEN PAPER SEND CONSULTATION
The government has published their ideas on how to improve SEND processes in England in a 'Green Paper'. They want to hear the views of parents / carers, young people and children.
An ‘easy read’ version of the Green Paper is here: SEND review: right support, right place, right time (easy read). If you want to read the full version, click on this link: SEND Review - right support, right place, right time
There are two ways to tell the Government what you think:
1) The link to the Government's survey is here: DfE Green Paper Consultation These responses will be counted individually.
2) The National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF) has also developed a (simpler) version here: NNPCF Survey. This should take no more than 10 - 15 minutes to complete. The responses from this survey will be used to inform the NNPCF’s response to the Green Paper consultation.
The survey will close on 22 July 2022.
