- “Our Services for Young People SEND Adviser helped set up and run a very successful careers evening at school with local colleges and other relevant post-16 options. When it comes to me needing to know something about post-16 options in the county, I just pick the phone up as she knows the answer, I would be lost without her.” - Watford Special School, March 2020
