This survey is for practitioners who work with children or young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in education, health or care services.
If you work in two or more sectors, you can use the same link to complete a separate survey for each role. Welcome
Ofsted and the
Care Quality Commission (CQC) are visiting
to assess how effective the local area partnership’s commissioning arrangements are at identifying and meeting the needs of children and young people with SEND. Your views are important to us and will help inspectors understand how the arrangements within your area support children and young people.
Please watch the video to find out more about the inspection and how you can help.
The survey will remain open for your views until 9am on .

Safeguarding concerns
If you think a child or young person is at risk of being abused or neglected, contact the children’s social care team at their local council. GOV.UK has further information about how to report child abuse to a local council. You can also contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
For young adults over the age of 18, local authorities have adult safeguarding teams. If you are concerned about a young adult, call your local council and ask to speak to the adult safeguarding team or look on the local adult safeguarding partnership website where the details of who to contact should be available.
We will treat the information you give us in confidence. We do not ask for your name, but we may try to identify you if you share something that makes us concerned about you or another person.
Safeguarding disclosures will be passed on to the local council and health services.
