Oldham Parent Carer Forum
We are a member of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums.
Our main aim is to ensure the needs of our children and young people with SEND are met and we bring together parent carers from across Oldham to provide mutual support, exchange information, and influence policy and practice:
- create a culture of participation and co-production across education, health, social care and the voluntary sectors. This means that we can become involved in all aspects of designing, commissioning, delivering and reviewing services as an equal partner;
- empower our members to ensure that their voices are heard at a local, regional and national level; and
- inspire our partners by sharing good practice and knowledge.
SEND Gateway Resources
Whole School SEND is a consortium of charities, schools and organisations. We are committed to helping children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or learning differences reach their full potential.
Hosted by nasen, we deliver the Department for Education SEND Schools’ Workforce Support Contract and a randomised control trial funded by the Education Endowment Foundation.
SEN Complaints Procedure
If you want to complain about a school’s SEN support you should do it while your child is still registered at the school. This includes complaints that the school has not provided the support required by your child’s SEN statement or education, health and care (EHC) plan.
Follow these steps in order. Move on to the next step if your complaint is not resolved.
• Talk to the school’s special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO).
• Follow the school’s complaints procedure.
• Complain to your local authority.
Complain to the Education Funding Agency instead of the local authority if both the following apply:
• the school is an academy or free school
• your complaint is not about an SEN statement or an EHC plan
There’s a different process if you disagree with a decision your local authority has made about an SEN statement or an EHC plan. Talk to the SENCO, Miss Preece or the Head Teacher, Mrs. Brierley.
