Family impact survey
Our Family Impact Survey 2023 is live Now!!
Who can complete this survey?
Any Parent or Carer of a child/children (0-25) who has Special Educational Needs or Disabilities.
- You can complete the survey more than once if you have more than one child with SEND.
- Your child/young person does not need to have a diagnosis.
- Your child/young person does not need to have an Education, Health & Care Plan.
Why are we conducting this survey?
We are conducting this survey to measure the current levels of parental satisfaction with local services for SEND Families and to compare with the data collected within our previous surveys. As the Parent Carer Forum we know that there is work being undertaken to improve services for children and young people with SEND. However, we are also aware that families’ experiences are still inconsistent and can vary greatly.

Please find below the full report from our Family Impact Survey 2022. This is compiled from all the rich information given to us by parents and carers. Thank you to all those that completed the survey, your voice can make a difference!
I have information/feedback that I want to share NOW – how do I do that?
You can share any current feedback on our Graffiti Wall. It is available all year round and is reviewed each quarter. Please click here to provide your feedback.
What difference will it make?
This survey will help identify where there is positive impact from the changes being made, but also what the barriers to a positive experience for families still are. As the Parent Carer Forum we use your feedback in this survey to influence further policy decisions and work to develop support and information for families.
There are many things that are being developed specifically as a result of parental feedback. Essex County Council have provided an update on some of the ongoing work that is being undertaken. Please click on the image to learn more.
Below are examples of some of the support and information that families told us they wanted that are now in place:

- ECC SEND Navigators
- SEND Roadshows (giving parent/carers opportunities to meet with representatives from Education, Social Care and Health.)”
