Consultation with stakeholders

BURY2GETHER CIC’s stakeholders are parent/carers who have children with SEND, aged 0-25. BURY2GETHER collates feedback via our various online surveys and adjusts its activities accordingly. We also receive feedback verbally from events, meetings, workshops, coffee mornings, consultations and also via our emails. We continually adjust our provision, in accordance with user feedback. Examples are: - Parent/carers have told us that more support for schools regarding SEND is needed. We have continued to deliver the Autism In Schools project, where we are influencing change within Bury Schools. - Parent/carers tell us that it can feel like SEND services are designed around service needs, not the needs of the families, especially around Bury’s Neuropathway and its commissioned services. We have continued to raise this with our Strategic Health partners, citing lack of consultation, coproduction and strategic scrutiny and oversight. - This year the Local Area underwent an SEND inspection. BURY2GETHER has been working on behalf of our members to influence positive change post inspection. We have continued to improve our feedback mechanisms.
