We know how incredibly busy everyone is and how difficult things are for lots of you at this current time, but we would really appreciate you taking the time to complete our Annual SEND Survey for Wokingham Borough.
The survey covers all aspects of Education, Health and Social Care as well as the availability of Information and parent carer wellbeing, so that it gives us a real overview of the "lived experience" for SEND families. This survey is for families of all children with special educational needs and/or a disability (SEND), not just those with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or on formal SEN support at school. It is also for those with or without formal diagnoses.
The link to the survey is here: Annual SEND Survey 2025
The results of last years survey are here: Annual SEND Survey 2024.
Areas where your survey input helped last year include:
- The SEND & Inclusion Strategy 2024–2029
- The All-Age Autism Strategy 2024–2029
- Improved staffing and restructuring of the WBC SEND Team
- Development of Helping Early and Early Years strategies
- Updates to the Local Offer, including better information and events for families
- Informing the Short Breaks Redesign
- Update to the Ordinarily Available Provision (Inclusive provision & support available to all mainstream learners - launching July 2025)
We will use the results from the survey to help shape our work for the coming year as well as feed into the Wokingham Borough SEND Partnership Board and ongoing SEND Improvement work. SEND Voices Wokingham will also use the survey findings to provide feedback from parent carers to any future OFSTED/CQC SEND Inspections.
We are pleased to offer a 5 x £20 Amazon vouchers to 5 respondents drawn at random who complete this survey (all the information on this is included at the end of the survey).
The closing date for the survey is Friday 25th July.
