During 2025/2026, Warwickshire Parent Carer Voice delivered a wide range of activities to ensure the voices of parent carers shaped SEND services across Warwickshire. We engaged more than 477 parent carers through 84 school-based sessions as part of the PINS project (Partnership for the Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools Project), supported 42 primary schools, and gathered 328 pieces of feedback to influence local decision-making. We co-hosted the Warwickshire SEND Conference, contributed to major workstreams including the 20-week EHCP redesign, Autism and ADHD transformation, and the Local Offer improvements, and supported recruitment, commissioning and training across education, health and social care. These activities strengthened coproduction, improved communication between families and services, and helped create better outcomes for children and young people with SEND.

Our stakeholders include parent carers, children and young people with SEND, schools, Warwickshire County Council, the Coventry & Warwickshire ICB, SENDIAS, community organisations, councillors, MPs and professionals across education, health and social care. During 2025/26 we consulted widely with 698 forum members, including 73 parent carers who contributed their experiences through drop ins, surveys, consultations and social media. A further 38 parent carers represented the forum on local service working, planning, steering and task groups, and 3 were actively involved in running the group. Our wider reach extended to 2,300 social media followers. Feedback gathered through these channels informed our work on the Local Offer, the 20 week EHCP redesign, commissioning activity, training, and strategic planning across education, health and social care. We consulted stakeholders through 84 school based engagement sessions, surveys including the Short Breaks and Autism/ADHD support surveys, our Feedback Wall which received 328 submissions, strategic meetings, workstreams, and regular communication via social media and newsletters. Our SEND Community Forum grew from 4 to 18 member organisations during the year, strengthening our ability to hear from a wider range of families and ensuring more community groups could contribute to shaping SEND services. In response to this feedback, we co produced improvements to the Local Offer, contributed to the redesign of the 20 week EHCP process, influenced commissioning decisions, delivered training to schools and professionals, supported recruitment panels, and raised issues directly with councillors and MPs. These actions ensured that stakeholder views shaped service development and improved outcomes for SEND families.

The company had three directors during the year, all of whom received remuneration for hours worked. Total remuneration paid to directors during the year was £48543.37. This includes salary, employer National Insurance contributions and employer pension contributions. No additional benefits were paid other than agreed expenses. Last year’s breakdown of NI and pension contributions contained a genuine immaterial error which incorrectly reflected employee contributions rather than employer contributions; however, the total director remuneration figure reported was accurate.
