Other Ways to Get Involved
Dingley’s Promise is also hosting a number of online engagement events for parents and carers of children with SEND under 8 years of age.
If you can’t attend any of the above events, you can still have your say through the national consultation: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/send-reform-putting-children-and-young-people-first
In fact, we encourage everyone to individually respond to the consultation even if you have attended a SEND Reform engagement event before.
We will also share other opportunities to provide feedback on the Schools White Paper and/or SEND Reform whenever we can. Please follow us on social media for future announcements.
