A voice for Halton SEND families
A Non-Profit organisation run by and for families of children and young people (aged 0-25) who have Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).
We work independently but in partnership with service commissioners and providers, sharing knowledge and experience of families to help plan and develop the quality, range and accessibility of provision, creating better outcomes for families through participation and co-production.

🌟You said, We Did, We're doing! 🌟
Today parents and carers came together with representatives from Halton SEND Parent Carers Forum, Halton Borough Council and the Integrated Care Board for the second joint event to address and discuss SEND improvements and challenges in our borough. Messages and updates were given around Education and Health.
These sessions are super important and give parent carers the right platform and opportunity to have their voices heard and help shape SEND services in the future.
The session was recorded and will be shared with our membership when available, as will the slide deck from today.
We hope those who attended found the session useful and insightful. It was great to see a room full of people all working together to achieve better outcomes for our children and young people in borough 🫂
