Thank you for taking part in this important consultation.
More children and young people in Hertfordshire are needing extra support at school, and many are growing up with more complex needs than in the past. Families have told us they want clearer pathways and better local options. This Special Education, Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Provision Plan sets out how we will strengthen support in local schools, increase specialist provision where it is needed, and make sure every child can get the right help, in the right place, at the right time.
Your feedback helped us identify what matters most and informed the five key elements of the draft SEND Provision Plan:
- Strengthen capacity in mainstream schools
- Expand specialist capacity in mainstream schools
- Create more special school places
- Update special school designations
- Child centred placements

Now, we want to hear from you again. This survey is your opportunity to tell us whether the strategy reflects your priorities, and how we can make it stronger before it is finalised.
The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete. Your responses will directly inform the final version of the SEND Provision Plan 2026 - 2029
