Annual Survey 23/24 Report
Annual survey 23/24 report available to download
Back in June, we published the full analysis report of feedback gained from our Annual SEND Survey. We are now copying this report across to our new website so that our members and partners can access the full report.
Please know we haven’t been sitting on this data, we have already fed back to all our professional partners across education, health and social care an executive Summary of the report and are already actively working with them to address issues highlighted. Having said that there are no surprises in the report. An improvement plan was put in place to address improvements needed, highlighted by the Area SEND inspection in January 2023, which we have been actively working on since. The task in hand, to hold those professionals responsible for providing ‘fit for purpose’ services to our SEND families.
The work WarrPAC has been involved in over the past year to address some of the concerns from the SEND inspection have seen some small increments of improvement over the past year according to this latest data. The Education, Health and Care Plan process for example, still not perfect but due to your feedback, improvements in the EHCP team’s knowledge, experience and numbers, as well as the way they work have, you say, improved. WarrPAC are also now involved in quality assuring EHC Plans, to ensure the quality of information in those plans.
The report is a large, in depth document, therefore we have opened with a summary of main points.
It is essential you, our members, know what we have learned, what we hear, what we are doing, and how all this feedback from both parents, carers and professionals shape the work we do.
As your designated Forum, WarrPAC will continue to work tirelessly on your behalf to improve the current situation with SEND, not just locally but regionally and Nationally. You are part of over 135,000 voices nationwide that can make a difference. Of course your concerns are around services that affect your family in Warrington, however, many of the areas highlighted in the survey as ‘not working well’ are national issues that need to be addressed by the Government who are ultimately responsible for providing the level of funding required for Local Authorities and partners to do their job.
As a very important part of this network, combined with the other 150 forums in the country, your voice can make a difference.
Thank you for caring enough to be involved.
