What do you wish you’d known before your child started secondary school?
We’re asking SEND parents and carers to share what they wish they’d known before their child started secondary school. The responses so far have been eye-opening. Your experiences will help us create a practical parent guide and highlight the information and support families need earlier.
Please take a few minutes to share your experience. It could make a real difference to another family.
Early themes are already beginning to emerge, and we’re continuing to gather experiences from more families.
What’s On: SEND Events & Opportunities
Discover SEND-friendly events, open days, activities and opportunities for children, young people and families. We’re starting in Cornwall and will be expanding our coverage across the UK.
Why PACE?
Finding the right support for a child with SEND can involve hours of searching, asking other parents and following recommendations — sometimes discovering important information much later than you wish you had. It can be difficult to find out what exists, who it’s suitable for, how to access it and what questions to ask.
PACE brings together useful provision and opportunities alongside practical information and the knowledge SEND parents gain through lived experience.
