SEND REVIEW SURVEY 2022

Over the last 3 years there has been an SEND Review taking place. The proposals from this review are now out for consultation in the Green Paper - Right Support, Right Place, Right Time.
Bexley Voice want to feed back to the DfE how their proposals, outlined in the Green Paper, might work in practice and highlight things to consider.
We are asking for input from our members on 10 questions – you do not need to answer them all 😊
Each question is quite broad, as we hope to capture a wide range of thought/feedback for each question, so please answer as fully as you are able.
The deadline for responses to this Survey is the end of Friday 15 July 2022. This will give us time to pull your feedback together with ours, to provide a Bexley Voice Parent Carer Forum response to the Department for Education, by their deadline of  22 July 2022.
You can find more information about the proposals, the full document, summary and easy read versions of the Green paper along with other ways you can contribute to the consultation on our website SEND REVIEW.
We have decided to seek your input on those areas of the proposals we feel, as parents, we are best placed to comment.
 
All responses will be anonymous. However, you are welcome to leave your contact details if you wish to be contacted regarding further consultation stages of this legislation.

Question Title

* 1. Parental Choice in Schools – It is proposed that parents of children with an EHCP would now be given a tailored list of schools to choose from to name on the EHCP. How do you feel this might work in practice and would it better enable your child to access the right placement to meet their needs?

Question Title

* 2. Accountability in the SEND System – How can the system be improved to ensure that everyone involved with supporting your child does what they say they will and or they are responsible for?
