Have your say - Gloucestershire SEND Sufficiency Strategy 2026-2031 for public consultation
Published
Families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities are encouraged to share their views on Gloucestershire’s draft SEND Sufficiency Strategy for 2026-2031.
Gloucestershire County Council is developing its new SEND Sufficiency Strategy for 2026-2031 and wants to hear from families with SEND, young people, and the wider community. This strategy will inform how the council plans the right educational places and specialist provision for children and young people with SEND over the next five years, making sure support is responsive to local needs.
The strategy builds on previous and ongoing work to improve sufficiency in the county. Its aim is to help children and young people with SEND thrive, be confident, and achieve their ambitions.
A public consultation on the draft strategy has been prepared as part of the Council’s decision-making process. Your voice matters and by sharing your lived experiences, ideas and hopes for the future, you can help shape how specialist educational provision in Gloucestershire will look in the years ahead.
How You Can Take Part
The consultation opened on Tuesday, 5 May 2026 and will run for seven weeks, closing on Tuesday 23 June 2026 at 5.00pm.
You will be able to read the draft SEND Sufficiency Strategy 2026-31 and share your views through an online survey. To have your say, please click here to access the consultation.
