Lambeth Council parent and carer survey

Lambeth Council is carrying out research to gather your views about communication. The most recent SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) inspection found that some parents and carers had not heard of Lambeth’s SEND local offer and the support that is available for their children and young people. This highlighted a clear need to heighten awareness and to increase accessibility. To help us shape Lambeth's new Communication Plan, they want to hear from you to better understand your preferred methods of communications.
