Norfolk Parent Carer SEND Experience Feedback
The Department for Education (DfE) and NHS England want everyone who supports children with SEND to work together to check how well things are working. This includes the council, NHS, schools, colleges and families. Norfolk County Council (NCC) wants to hear from you, parents and carers of children and young people with SEND, so your experiences can help improve support.

NCC wants to look at how well their Local SEND Partnership is working and has put together some questions for parents and carers to respond to. There’s also opportunity to expand answers with comments.

Please do take a few minutes to give your views by completing the questions using the link below. Your answers will go directly to NCC. Closing date for responses is 31st March 2026.
