Overview

We are always keen to hear from residents in East Sussex that want to provide their insight on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services and provision.

This page highlights ways that you can contribute. It will be updated throughout the year.

To see how we have already used service user insight to improve services, visit our ‘You Said, We Did’ page.

EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance) Training

We are looking to develop training for parent/carers whose children are struggling to attend school due to negative feelings. This is likely to be in the form of online 'Brief Bites'. It would be helpful if you could tell us what areas you would want covered in any training. You can do this by completing our short online survey:

The survey will remain open until 30 November 2024. 

Become a Young SEND Ambassador

The Young SEND Ambassadors are a youth group. They represent and advocate for young people with SEND. They meet a couple of times a month to discuss their thoughts and views. This helps to create change and ensures that the youth voice is at the heart of Education East Sussex services.

To find out more about the Young SEND Ambassadors, and other SEND youth groups, visit our page on Youth Groups and Activities.
