Children and Young People survey
Our Local Area SEND Partnership is proud to work with 4‑8‑U, a group of young people with SEND.
4‑8‑U works with schools and different youth groups and is also linked to regional and national networks. Every month, 4‑8‑U creates a survey on an important topic to collect the views of children and young people with SEND across West Northamptonshire. They share the results directly with members of the SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Board. The Board listens to this feedback and uses it to decide what should happen next. Through this work, 4‑8‑U makes sure children and young people’s voices help shape decisions and improve services across the partnership. 4‑8‑U also designs each survey themselves, making sure the questions are suitable for different ages and needs.
This month’s survey is about the school experiences of children and young people with SEND.
We are a small group of young people who have experience with neurodivergence, mental health issues, experience in the care system, SEND and more! We want to share our experiences to improve services and make sure what we went through never happens again! Let us collect your voices to make change! Together our voices are the strongest!
Please note only answer the questions you are comfortable with! Your wellbeing is more important than answering questions!
