Case Study: SEND and Inclusion Strategy
Parent carers helped shape Bristol’s SEND and Inclusion Strategy by sharing their experiences through surveys, events and conversations, directly influencing the priorities and focus of the strategy.
Talk to us about: EHCPs and transport
Tell us about your experiences with EHCPs, including assessments, reviews, and appeals. We also want to hear about home-to-school transport and whether it works for your family.
Talk to us about: Parent Carer Wellbeing
Tell us about your experiences as a parent or carer, including the support you receive to manage everyday life, your wellbeing, and how you balance caring responsibilities alongside family life.
Talk to us about: Inclusion in education
Tell us about your child’s experiences at school, including how included they feel, the support they receive, and whether they are able to take part fully in lessons, activities and everyday school life.
Talk to us about: Social Care
Tell us about the social care support your child, siblings, or your family receives, including short breaks, home help, time you have apart from your child and other family support.
Talk to us about: Health Services
Tell us about the health services your child uses, like GPs, dentists, hospitals, assessments, therapists, or mental health support, and how easy they are to access.
Talk to us about: Transitions
Tell us about times your child has moved between schools, year groups or different services, including transitions from children’s to adult services, and how well they were supported
