The Lancashire SEND Partnership is currently undergoing an Area SEND Inspection by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The inspectors are keen to hear from children, parents / carers, and practitioners about the help and support that children and young people with SEND in Lancashire receive, and you can tell them via the link below:
https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/p/AreaSend/10327156
The surveys will close at 9am on Tuesday 3rd December 2024.
Thank you for taking the time to share your views.

FamilyLives new service:
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new WhatsApp support service. Contact our family support workers at 07441 444125 for support with parenting and family life worries
Contact - For families with disabled children:
Here’s a good Disability Living Allowance tip for parent carers: call the DWP and ask for a posted form instead of completing it online or printing it out yourself! This way, the DLA form will be stamped with the date of your phone call — and any DLA your child gets will be paid from that date.
We all know how long and time-consuming the DLA form can be, so this handy trick will ensure you don’t miss out on any payments while you’re busy filling it in.
Find out more about DLA on our website: https://i.mtrbio.com/vrsrwznxzr
