Share your views to help improve SEND services in Wirral

Parents, carers and young people in Wirral are invited to take part in the Annual SEND Survey. The survey helps improve services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It gives families and young people a chance to say what works well and what needs to improve.

Why your views matter

Wirral’s Local Area SEND Partnership runs the survey. This partnership brings together education, health and care services. These organisations work together to support children and young people with SEND.

Your feedback will help show:

• what families experience day to day

• whether recent changes are making a difference

• where more support is needed

This helps services plan better and focus on what matters most to families.

Two surveys designed with families

There are two surveys:

• one for parents and carers

• one for children and young people with SEND

Families and young people helped design the surveys. This makes sure the questions are clear and focus on real experiences. Both surveys will be available in Easy Read next week.

Young people can share their views in a way that works for them. Parents and carers can speak openly about the support their family receives.

What if I need help to do a survey?

Support will be available at SENDLO Drop-Ins across the borough over the 12 weeks the survey is running. All of the dates, times and venues are on the survey page and What’s On.

What happens next

All responses will be:

• carefully analysed

• published on the SENDLO website

• shared with education, health and social care services

This supports openness and transparency. It also helps services understand what needs to change.
