The forum will provide an opportunity for families of pupils with additional needs to help inform SEND priorities, shape future provision, and contribute to the development of the next SEND strategy. This work will be co-produced with families from the outset.

The forum will be led by Kelly Nash, School Improvement Director: SEND, and Neil Strain, Director of Special Education Hub, who work across our schools to strengthen SEND provision and inclusive practice.

The forum will meet three times a year and is likely to be held online to support accessibility. It will focus on SEND priorities and provision across schools.

Parents and carers of pupils with additional needs who would like to take part are invited to register via the online form or QR code shared by their school. Further details will be shared with those who register.

Please note: the forum will focus on SEND priorities and provision across schools and is not a forum for discussing individual pupils or cases.
