The company’s stakeholders are primarily children/young people and their parents/carers throughout Greater Manchester with SEND. For each programme we deliver, stakeholders are consulted, before, during and after programmes.We collect Social Impact Report from parents/carers every 12 weeks, throughout the year. These reports provide families with a chance to make suggestions and let us know what they want more of and less of. Consultations help us to develop the project and ensure that the right level of staffing is provided. We also consult with families throughout the project, building time into sessions for discussion and feedback. Children have opportunities to share what they enjoy and our team build in more opportunities that fit with children’s interests as a result. We also work closely with local parent/carer support organisations and local charities.
