SEND and Alternative Provision Strategy survey for children and young people

We want to hear your views about what is working well, what is difficult and what you would like to change. There are no right or wrong answers, and you can skip any question you do not want to answer. 

You can answer on your own or ask a parent, carer or someone else to help you read the questions, or put your answers into words. If someone is helping you, please ask them to record what you think and feel, rather than their own views.

This survey is anonymous and we do not collect any personal data or email addresses.  Please avoid including any information that may identify you or others within your responses.

Thank you for sharing your views.
