As always, we thank you for your continued support and generosity.
Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are carrying out an inspection of services and support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Devon.
As part of the inspection, inspectors want to hear directly from children and young people with SEND, parents and carers, and practitioners. They use this feedback to help them understand people’s experiences of SEND services and support across the local area.
The surveys will remain open until 9am on Tuesday 13th October.
Your responses will be treated confidentially by the inspection team.
Please take the opportunity to share your experiences and views with inspectors.
You can find out more about the Area SEND inspection process on Devon’s SEND Local Offer website. The page includes links to information from Ofsted and the CQC for parents, carers, children and young people. Ofsted and CQC Local Area SEND Partnership Inspections
You can also sign up for updates from the Devon SEND Partnership at: Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) newsletter
Thank you for your support. We greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that children, young people, families and practitioners across Devon have the opportunity to share their experiences with inspectors.
