SENDIASS Survey

We have to provide an impartial information and advice service for parents, carers and children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

We are always looking to improve SEND services in our local area. The current SEND Independent Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) is provided by Barnardos and is coming towards the end of the contract. We want to know what you would like to see in place in the future.

We will use your views to make sure the service and contract is updated in line with the needs of our children and families.

The survey only takes five minutes to complete.
