SEND reforms currently out for national consultation - get involved
They want to make it as easy as possible for parent carers in Darlington to access information and share what matters to them.
You can get involved in whichever way suits you best:
✅ Attend a parent carer drop‑in session to talk things through and share views
�👉SEND Reform Drop in
🔹 Evening in person- Tuesday 5th May, 6pm, DPCF office Jubilee House.
🔹Day in person- Thursday 7th May, 10am -12pm, The Function room at the Dolphin Centre.
✅ Complete their short survey if you can’t attend or would prefer to respond in writing �👉 https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=5abQzwBpnkOw3wvCNhVCD1EzuOdQhM5CqraqvpbudGhUMVo4T1NYMVJQMVJMUlBIU0VGVEJVTVo5UC4u
✅ Visit their Padlet to access information and share reflections at a time that works for you �👉 https://padlet.com/darlopcf/darlington-parent-carer-forum-send-reforms-padlet-wzxhq4ju3wdzmb5p
They are encouraging all parent carers to read the proposals and respond to the national consultation independently. The role of the Parent Carer Forum is not to speak instead of parents but to listen and reflect their views when the PCF are involved in local SEND conversations, even when those conversations are difficult or opinions differ.
Your voice matters.
