Parent Carer Forum

Each year, our Parent Carer Forum carry out a survey of the views of parents/carers of children and young people with SEND.  They present the analysis at our SEND Board.  This is an important way for senior leaders in education, health and care to understand where families feel SEND services are working well and where they need to be improved. 

This year, as well as the usual survey, the Forum are asking parents/carers to complete a survey on the impact of Covid. The closing date is 1st March.

SEND Survey 2020: This survey reviews SEND families' experiences of Manchester services across Education, Health and Social Care in the past year.

Covid-19 Impact Survey: This survey looks into the impact of the pandemic on families of children and young people with SEND in Manchester.

Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership

We know 2020 has been a difficult year for parent/carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We know this because we are a group of parents who have children with a variety of needs. Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (GMHSCP) wants to make sure parent/carers are properly supported in 2021 and beyond.

So that we can make sure that the changes we suggest are based on what you really need and want, it would help us, to help you, if you would share your thoughts, experiences and suggestions in the following 10 questions.

These questions are only to be answered by parent/carers across Greater Manchester who have children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) (aged 0 – 25)
