Have your say on our Local Area SEND Strategy Closed

Over the past year we have worked with parent, carers and young people to develop our Local Area Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Strategy. We would now like to hear from a bigger group of people across North Somerset about what they think of our plans for working together in the coming years. We have also worked together to come up with a Co-Production charter which explains how we will make sure parents, carers and children and young people are involved in decisions about services and plans. This is an exciting and important part of this strategy, and there is a chance to comment on this charter too.

Consultation on School Funding Arrangements for the 2020-21 Financial Year Closed

This 'Fair Funding' consultation is to ask you what you think about the North Somerset Strategic Schools Forum plans for how the 'minor national funding arrangements' will be introduced in North Somerset. It will mainly be of interest to school heads, heads of governors and bursars at schools, though anyone is welcome to take part. Taking part does require you to read and understand the consultation document. If you are answering on behalf of an organisation (e.g. a school) we require a single official response from your organisation. We will publish a list of which organisations have taken part but will not attribute any responses to any named organisations. So, once you have read that document, please let us know your views about the recommendations and how they can be implemented using this online questionnaire, before 6pm on 27 November 2019. The questionnaire is designed to be accessible to all. If you need it in another format, contact Emma Whitehead

Open from 13 Nov 2019 to 27 Nov 2019
