NNPCF welcomed the opportunity to attend the DfE Ministerial Reception on 11th July 2024. We were able to talk directly to the Secretary of State Bridget Phillipson, Stephen Morgan, Catherine McKinnell and Jacqui Smith, highlighting the importance of the lived experience of our SEND families, along with the importance of coproduction and highlight local Parent Carer Forums and the great work they do.
The evening also gave us an opportunity to speak with other key stakeholder partners including Amanda Allard, Director of the Council for Disabled Children, and Anna Bird, Chief Executive Officer at Contact.
We hope that with the government will bring the much needed change within the SEND System for our families.
