SEND Transformation Programme

Posted on by

The EA SEND Transformation Programme has launched a survey to establish a baseline understanding of the confidence and satisfaction levels of all users and service providers for SEND services in Northern Ireland, building on the information they have acquired through previous rounds of parent and carer engagement sessions. Any feedback provided will help shape the change for SEND service provision in Northern Ireland.

The survey will be LIVE until Sunday 6 August at midnight. Please encourage anyone you feel may have an interest in the SEND system in Northern Ireland, to take part.

The survey can be accessed here
