SEND Dads meet up

Calling all SEND Parents / Carers – Have Your Say!! 📢 ‼️

Help shape the future of SEND support in Blackburn with Darwen 🌈

We want to hear from parents, carers, SEND individuals and families living in or accessing services across Blackburn with Darwen.

Your experiences matter.

We want to understand the challenges local families face, what activities and support are missing, and what you would like to see in the future 👀

The below link to the survey ⬇️ should take approximately 5–10 minutes. Questions are optional unless stated otherwise. Please do not include names or other identifying details in your answers.

We here at BwD SEND Family Support need your help in gaining knowledge on what is needed to help support local SEND families.
