Why voice and influence matters
The SEND Code of Practice says that listening to families should lead to:
- Services that meet families’ needs
- Families being happier with services
- Better value for money over time
What Local Authorities should do
Local authorities should:
- Work with children, young people and parents to agree what participation means
- Check progress and build trust
- Use existing groups that share the views of parents and young people
