Parent carers helped shape Bristol’s SEND and Inclusion Strategy.
Thousands of families shared their experiences through surveys, events, and conversations. Their feedback directly influenced the priorities, language, and focus of the strategy.
Because parent carers were involved from the start:
- Family voices were listened to, not added at the end
- Services worked together more openly
- The strategy reflects real life for families, not just plans on paper
Bristol Parent Carers continue to be involved in how the strategy is delivered, so it stays relevant and responsive to what families need.
This case study shows how sharing your views can lead to real change.
