Thank you to everyone who responded to our consultation survey, we were delighted to receive 77 responses, which is fantastic!
If you didn't have chance or surveys aren't your favourite thing we will also be running small focus groups for parents & carers and also for children & young people in November - this is a chance to invite people to small group sessions to talk about specific things that they feel their child or young person needs - these groups will be age specific and also for specific areas; for example - Down syndrome and Autism, complex health needs and cultural diversity.
More details of the groups will be coming out soon and we really hope that some of you will be able to join us for this next part of the consultation process.
Thank you again to everyone who has shared their thoughts - it really is important to us! And if you did have anything else that you wanted to let us know about for this consultation please don't hesitate to get in touch by email or phone and we can put you in touch with Sue Hoey who is independently undertaking this process for, and with, Sunshine & Smiles.
