Kent Parent & Carers Together want to hear from families about their recent experience of SEND services.  They want to understand what has worked and what could be better. Your feedback will help improve services for everybody.

This is your opportunity to be heard. Kent Parent & Carers Together (also known as PACT) is a forum for parents of children and young people with disabilities and additional needs.  They want to gather feedback so that they can provide an independent and objective view on how SEND services are working right now in Kent.

Get involved in the feedback sessions online which start from Monday 19th October.
