2025 SEND Survey - Children and Young Peoples Survey
This survey is now closed. Thank you to all the children and young people who took part in our survey.
We will post the results on this website as soon as they are available.
We would like to hear from children and young people in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area who access support for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Take our short survey and help shape how SEND support and EHCPs are delivered across educations, health and the community.

Phases
Feedback
Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our SEND Annual Survey. The survey is now closed, and we are currently looking through and analysing all the responses.
This year, we heard from 102 parents and carers and 97 children and young people.
While we finalise the full results, we would like to share what will happen next:
- January 2026: Services will review the feedback and comments shared by families.
- February 2026: A BCP Action Plan will be created to address the issues raised in the survey. This Action Plan will be published on the Local Offer website so everyone can see what actions are being taken.
Click here to find out more about what we have done in response to previous SEND annual surveys.
The results will be published on the Local Offer when available.
The survey was created in partnership with parents, carers and partners from other organisations. Thank you to Parent Carers Together, Parent Carer Foundation and NHS Dorset.
The SEND values of culture and co-production were developed with families and young people, and set out how we should behave and work.
