Young people across Wirral are invited to take part in the first Annual SEND Survey.
Wirral’s Annual SEND Surveys are your chance to help shape the future of services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities across the borough. The Local Area SEND Partnership have worked with the council’s Children’s Services to coproduce the surveys. They are designed to be a once-a-year survey to allow parents, carers, children and young people to have their voice heard loud and clear.
Important things to know before you start.
Your answers should only be about your experiences over the last 12 months, since 1st April 2025.
All questions in this survey are optional. If you don’t want to answer a question that is OK. Leave it blank and move to the next question.
