Herts Parent Carer Involvement (HPCI) represents the views of parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Hertfordshire. The organisation works with local health, education, and social care services to improve outcomes for children and young people.
The survey aims to find out more about the experiences of families, identifying what works well and what needs improvement. The feedback will help Hertfordshire County Council and the NHS to improve future SEND support and services, focusing on the areas that matter most to parents and carers.
Parents and carers with children and young people aged 0 to 25 are encouraged to take part. No diagnosis, Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), or HPCI membership is required. In 2023, over 900 parents and carers participated, providing valuable data that influenced discussions with decision-makers about SEND services.
To ensure as many parents and carers as possible have their views included, please encourage any families you know or work with to complete the survey:
The survey is open until 3 November 2024 and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Participants have a chance to win a gift voucher.
For help completing the survey or to receive the survey in an alternative format, please contact HPCI on 07840 360 245 or email [email protected].
