We had 7 young people attend our meeting this month, with two members sending their apologies. We were delighted to hear about Christmas highlights, news and updates from everyone.
This month we had a guest speaker attend, called Rebecca Crossley, NHS, who came along to share information about a new pilot project; in summary this addresses children and young people who are identified as having Global Development Delay, but where this is recognised not as a diagnosis, but as something which can change and therefore needs to be reviewed by health professionals.
We also shared a video made by the NCC Participation Team, promoting the SEND Survey, and uses direct quotes from Forum members, and the voice over was spoken by one of our members too!! We are encouraging and supporting our young people and their families to complete this survey, as this provides a genuine insight and understanding of peoples lived experiences of living in Norfolk, with SEND, and provides the evidence and data to improve SEND services.
If you are a child or young person with SEND, or a parent/carer, or a professional working within SEND services, the SEND survey provides you with an opportunity for your voice to be heard. There are a wide range of support and formats to help you complete the survey. Please click on the link below to get more information, and access the survey.
