The National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF) has now submitted its response to the Department for Education consultation: SEND Reform – Putting Children and Young People First.
The response reflects extensive engagement with Parent Carer Forums (PCFs) across England through our Community of Practice sessions, regional feedback, workshops, surveys throughout the consultation period.
Our response highlights key themes raised by families via their PCFs such as inclusion, accountability, co-production, workforce capacity, early support and the need for meaningful improvements for children and young people with SEND and their families.
Views and experiences of the SEND system will naturally differ, and no single response can fully reflect every individual perspective. Wider responses submitted by parent carers, children and young people, alongside those who support or represent them, are equally important, and it is vital that all voices are heard and help shape future reform.
