SEN Reform- Survey for Parents

8th Jun 2026

Dear Parents and Guardians, Today schools received an email from DE regarding Special Education Needs (SEN) Reform and have been asked to distribute the survey below to all parents. "The survey is designed to capture the current views and experiences of parents and carers of children with SEN within the education system in Northern Ireland. While budgetary constraints may currently prevent the full implementation of the SEN Reform Delivery Plan, it is essential to establish a clear baseline of the current position to evaluate the impact of the interventions we are implementing. This evidence will help inform future SEN policy and will shape improvements to SEN provision, ensuring children and young people with SEN benefit from inclusive, high-quality learning environments that are appropriately supported and resourced."

Please note that participation is entirely voluntary and should take approximately 10 minutes.
