It’s no secret that the SEND system is broken.

I’ve raised EHCP delays in Parliament and discussed funding gaps with local schools, and I want to ensure that the Government and the Department for Education hear your experiences directly.

To do that, I’m hosting local events for parents, guardians, and carers of children with SEND so you can share firsthand how the system needs to change, and offer your ideas on how we can put children’s needs at the centre.

Your insights will help me as I continue to advocate for reform nationally and locally, and I’ll make sure that your suggestions reach the Government.

Important Information:

Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

These events are open to Bournemouth East constituents only. You can check who your MP is by entering your postcode at Find your MP.

If you’re a professional working in or alongside the SEND system and are interested in joining a roundtable event, please email me at [email protected]. Please include your name, contact details, and a short note about your experience in your email.

Views submitted in this survey and shared at listening events will be anonymised before they are shared with the Department for Education.
