Hearing voice

Published
Hearing voice is critical to the work of the SEND and Inclusion Local Area Partnership. The Partnership is always keen to hear from SEND families and Sara Barnett, who is working on a refresh of Gloucestershire's Local Offer website, Support for Families with SEND, explains the purpose of a new series of events around the county to hear your views.

This month sees the start of a new programme of events around Gloucestershire listening to SEND families' views.  

We want to know SEND families' views on the information available on support and services for those with additional needs 0 to 25 years and the people that support them.

We will be visiting established groups of people across the county including Parent Carers, young people with SEND, those in education or employment and others within the SEND community. 

The sessions will be supported by the people with whom the group is familiar and the meeting will take place somewhere the group leader thinks will be familiar and accessible to its members.

Information will be sent out ahead of the meeting by the people who support your group, so you know:

  • When and where the session will take place.
  • What you are going to be asked.
  • Information about the topic.
  • How to record your views at home, if you can't make the meeting.

If you have questions or you, or a group to which you belong, would like to be part of a session, please talk to the familiar person who is supporting your meeting or email localoffer@gloucestershire.gov.uk.
