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.
Here you can find links to help and inform you of useful information we have found.

🌟ZOOM FOCUS-EHCP PROCESS-12th Feb🌟
Have your say- Submit your questions in Advance
The theme at our next meeting to be around the EHCP process. This is a Q & A with questions being provided in advance so we can ensure that everyone gets the answers they need.
A member of the SEND Assessment & Provision Team will join us. Cut off for questions to be submitted will be 10th Feb. This enables us to get these to the team, we can compile responses and gather any resources or signposting information required.
The purpose of the Zoom session is to take questions about processes and how things work, rather than to discuss individual children, as this would not be the right forum for personal or case-specific matters at this time. Members of the team will therefore not be able to respond to child-specific questions during the call.
However, if parents or carers do need to speak to an officer about their own child, this can of course be picked up separately before or after the meeting.
This approach helps us keep the session focused, supportive, and inclusive for everyone, while still ensuring individual issues are followed up appropriately.
Thanks
