We are a friendly group of volunteers that live in the London Borough of Hillingdon. We are all parent carers of children and young people with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).
We are committed to getting the parental voice heard and listened to by working together with the Local Authority and their partner commissioning bodies to improve outcomes for children and young people 0-25 who have SEND.
Below is a list of ways to participate depending on what time you have available.
Become a member of our Steering Committee, contributing to our monthly meetings
Be a parent representative attending regular Hillingdon council workstream meetings
Participate on adhoc council-led SEND projects
Help us to host SEND coffee mornings at your child's/young person's school/college
Help us to manage stalls to promote what we do, at events, fairs, parent's evenings etc.
From home, review Hillingdon council processes, websites, provide ideas & feedback, respond to surveys etc.
I'm working with a great team of volunteer parents/carers who all want to help improve services and processes for our Hillingdon SEND children and young people.
