The NHS England Youth Forum is a group of young people who are passionate about improving the NHS. They work with NHS England, Public Health England, and the Dept. of Health.

One of the things they are doing this year is trying to develop easy-read health resources for children and young people, on social media, hoping to make it more user friendly. They particularly would like children and young people with SEND to take part in the survey below.
Thanks.

Thanks for your patience - our emails are now back up and running. We are very busy at the moment though, so they is likely to be a delay in us getting back to you - but we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Very sorry - we have been advised that some of those trying to contact us by email are not able to get through, and are finding their emails bouncing. We have our IT team on the case, and hopefully we'll be receiving emails as normal by tomorrow afternoon - we will post updates as soon as we have them.

We are still able to send emails, so if you are waiting for a response, and have received an auto-response from us, then we will be in touch as soon as we can.

Thanks for your patience. 🙂

Whilst we find our feet, we will be beginning with our workshops on Making a Parental Request and Parent Carer and Child Contributions. Find out more when our website is released!
We would welcome any feedback you may have on the new site and a link to provide feedback will be made available. We already have further developments planned in the background but we'd love to hear what you think!

Launching our NEW Website!
We've been working hard behind the scenes to produce our new revamped website! We have listened to your feedback and we will be launching it live on Monday 5th December 2022!
Along with a website that is more user friendly, appealing and interactive, you will also be able to book online onto our new workshops! These will be on offer on a monthly basis, both online and in-person, so you can choose which best suits you.

The responses will be compiled in a report due to be published early in 2023.

If you have any questions or need this in an alternative format, please:

There are 21 questions. The information you provide is anonymous.

Survey- ‘Transitions- A families view’

The Southwest region of Parent Carer Forums (which includes Parent Carers Together) and NHS England are working together to understand transitions for those families whose children have special educational needs or disabilities.

Please help us by completing this online survey and sharing your experience. You can access the survey at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SWtransitions or use the QR code.

#introduction Hello! SENDiass4BCP are an information, advice, and support service. We are based in BCP - Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and we support families of children and young people(up to age 25) who have SEND, as well as supporting young people directly.
