SEND Parent Carer Participation and Engagement - Soft Market Testing

Lambeth Council and Clinical Commissioning Group's are currently reviewing service provision with a view to re-procuring the current Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Parent Engagement and Participation offer. We are looking for feedback from potential providers of Parent and Carer Participation and Engagement with a specialism in working with SEND families.

Our vision is to move towards a person centred, solution focused model for SEND in the borough, with a focus on promoting independence for children, young people and their families through increased participation, personalisation, accessibility to leisure activities, training and employment opportunities. We recognise that the feedback received by parents, carers and young people with SEND is invaluable; the unique and powerful contribution through the eyes of a parent with a child or young person with SEND has considerable benefits to how we develop services and provision in Lambeth.

We envisage that the newly commissioned service will be located within the London Borough of Lambeth. We are looking for consistency in the service, and the ability to develop relationships with the existing local services.

We look forward to receiving your feedback. Any feedback received will be kept confidential; only for the purpose of this market testing exercise. THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Additional information: Please complete the soft market testing questionnaire attached with your feedback.
