Norfolk SEND survey 2025

Thank you to everyone who completed our SEND survey in 2025.

We have downloaded the data and have started reading through all the information and feedback given by children and young people with SEND, their parents/carers and the professionals who work with them.

We plan to publish the results in June on this website and check in with you about the actions we think we need to take at our Making Sense of SEND event on Friday 27 June 2025.

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.
