Empowering Parents & Carers

Annual Survey


CALLING PARENT CARERS..............Two chances to win a £50 Love2Shop Voucher if you wish, when you complete this survey.


If you are a parent/carer of a child or young person between the age of 0 to 25 years old with Special Education Needs and or Disabilities (SEND)  and receive education or support in Warrington, then this survey is for you!   


We had a fantastic  response from our SEND families last year, we  knew we could rely on you to be open,  honest  and passionate about what is working well and what needs improvement in the SEND world, needless to say,  you didn’t disappoint!


Your heartfelt responses  enabled us to capture how it really is across Education, Health and Social Care on the ground for our families.

In response,  the Local Authority and Health have produced a “you said, we did” which is set out below.  It gives a very positive account from professionals around work completed  to address concerns highlighted by you in the last survey,  but we need to know  if it’s actually making  a difference.  It is essential we gather your views year on year to ensure we are feeding back your voice to exact the changes needed to continue to improve services.


Whilst we are able, on a daily, weekly basis to bring your  individual/group voice/feedback to the table,  the annual survey gives us a much bigger overview  of what’s working, what isn’t and how we hold the Local Authority and Health to account.


Remember  more voices mean a  bigger impact.  So please take 10 or 15 mins out of your day to be heard and allow us to deliver those views,  both positive and not so positive, back to the professionals who can make a difference.

  • How we will use the information.

    All information provided will remain confidential and anonymised. It will only be used for the purpose of the survey. After analysis a report will be published that will inform our work going forward to improve the experience of children, young people and their families living with SEND in Warrington. There will also be opportunities for you to feedback.


     


    How will we use this survey to make a difference?



    • Outcome-focussed: To ensure that the information from the survey is Outcomes-focussed and to work with the LA and health to transform how services are delivered..
    • Evidence-based: which is  data-driven and delivery-focussed. We will take a partnership approach to working with professionals to create robust plans which are measurable and sustainable.
    • Rooted in co-production: It is mandatory for professionals to work with Parent Carer Forums, so any program of work needs to be co-produced, bespoke, and based on detailed evidence – balancing visibility and assurance with local autonomy to genuinely add value to existing work and work that will come off the back of this survey to achieve shared outcomes.
  • What happened last year?....

    When we received your survey responses last year we created a report of all the feedback you gave us. This was published in July and we have been using your responses in our strategic meetings with our partners.
