How can Parent Carer Groups be involved in shaping decisions across SEND in Barnsley?

✅ Parent Carer groups can be involved in Barnsley SEND Community Consortium as long as they meet the agreed criteria.

What is the Barnsley SEND Community Consortium? 

🤝 The consortium is a hub that brings together representatives from parent carer support groups, services and leaders from across the Barnsley Local Area to enable co-production and joint working with all partners.

It is the way that parents and carers of children and young people with SEND have a key role in shaping and influencing decisions made about SEND services across the local area, at all levels including strategic level change.
