Norfolk SEND survey 2025

Our special educational needs and disability (SEND) survey 2025 is open Monday 13 January - Sunday 23 February 2025. We really need your views on SEND services and support in Norfolk.

Our survey is for parents, carers, professionals who work with children and young people with SEND and their families, and young people with SEND who are aged 25 or younger.

There is a wide range of support and alternative formats to help you complete the survey.

Why we want people to complete the SEND survey

The more feedback we get the more accurate picture we have of:

• How people in Norfolk are experiencing SEND services and support
• What we need to improve

Places of learning are encouraged to make time for children and young people with SEND to complete the survey.

If your child does not attend a place of learning, please encourage and support your child to complete the SEND survey.

How we use the survey feedback

We read all SEND survey feedback and act on it.

Our last SEND survey was in 2023. We analysed the 2023 survey feedback and produced a 2023 survey summary and three reports. 

Senior leaders used the reports' findings to act on what needs to happen to improve the lives of children and young people with SEND, and their families.

The survey feedback helped us to shape our Norfolk Area SEND and Alternative Provision Strategy (NASPAS).  

The feedback also led to different teams taking actions which you can read about in our 'You said, We did' SEND in Norfolk report 2023-2024.  

Other activity is still happening as part of our Local Area Inclusion Plan. 

After the 2025 survey, we will publish feedback reports. We will publish these on the SEND Local Offer for everyone to read.

We will use the results to help us update our Local Area Inclusion Plan for 2025-2027. We will also publish a yearly progress update on actions every July.
