As a new forum starting from scratch it’s a lot of relationship building and working out which meetings our partners want us to attend and where we think we should be involved to influence the decisions being taken.

There is a lot to take in and we are currently involved in the following groups:

• SEND & Inclusion Partnership
• some of the SEND & Inclusion Change Programme Workstreams
• Neurodevelopmental Pathway Workstreams
• SENDIAS Steering Group
• SEND Capital Strategy Group

There are many more strategic groups that we are beginning to find out about and we will be recruiting reps to attend these.

We will feedback on our work both here and on our Facebook page and in turn would love to hear YOUR views in order to guide our priorities, policies and to provide feedback to our partners.

It’s not all co-production yet but the beginnings of it, and we need YOU to help develop this further.
