The meeting is for decision makers from East Sussex County Council and NHS organisations to hear from parents and carers directly about what needs to change to improve local services and provisions for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

The group will be joined by Nathan Caine, head of ISEND at ESCC, as well as other senior representatives from education, social care and health services – and parents and carers can choose a group to attend within this event to share their views based on their families experiences. They may wish to speak about SEN support in schools and attainment gaps; EHCP processes; social care/respite; and mental health support.

This is the second session, following an online version last week which was a powerful opportunity for parents and carers to talk directly to the decision makers about what would make the biggest difference, and be a part of constructing future plans.
