Parents and Carers are Invited to Help Shape Newcastle’s SEND Strategy

Newcastle City Council is developing a new strategy for children and young people with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) which will cover how education, health and care services can work together to meet their needs and ensure the best possible outcomes for children and young people who have SEND.

In September, the Council for Disabled Children (CDC) will facilitate a series of online events for parents and carers to share their views on the following key questions:

• What a good life for children and young people with SEND should look like in Newcastle

• What is currently helping to achieve this goal

• What is currently holding children and young people with SEND back from living that good life.

• What would make the biggest improvements in the lives of children and young people with SEND, and their families
