Sheffield SEND

Sheffield City Council are always looking at how to develop, update and improve the Local Offer.  These are web pages which provides information about services and support for children and young people aged 0-25 years with special educational needs and disabilities. The Local Offer web pages sit on a website called the Sheffield Directory.

Your feedback will help us to make the website better. We will publish an annual report on the Local Offer website, summarising the comments received and the actions that are being taken as a result.

Your child has recently been assessed and granted an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) by the SEND Statutory Assess & Review Service (SENDSARS) within Sheffield City Council.  This short questionnaire has been designed to gather valuable, constructive feedback on your experience of the EHCP process within SENDSARS only. 

Your views and experience surrounding the EHCP process will enable us to improve SENDSARS for future users.

Sheffield City Council is planning to run a Personal Travel Budget trial scheme. 

We want to understand the level of interest from families who currently receive Special Educational Needs (SEN) home to school travel support. This includes council-provided transport (minibus and taxi) and parental reimbursement.

Please complete this form to tell us if you would be interested in a Personal Travel Budget. We will use the information from expressions of interest to help develop the trial scheme. 

More information about Personal Travel Budgets will be shared. 

In the meantime, if you have any questions about home to school travel support:

• Visit Apply for home to school transport for children with special educational needs | Sheffield City Council
• Email indetravel@sheffield.gov.uk
• Call 0114 205 3542

Please note – the form is just to express interest only. You should continue to make your usual travel arrangements for September and apply for Home to School travel support as needed. (The deadline for applications is 5 July).  You can still express interest in Personal Travel Budgets if you have applied for travel support.

Do you have a child or young person with a special educational need and/or a disability (SEND) who attends a nursery, school or college in Sheffield? 

Please complete this survey to help us understand how well this setting supports your child. We also want to know how welcoming settings are towards learners with SEND. Please complete one questionnaire for each setting you want to give feedback about.

The survey will be open year-round. Responses will be downloaded and analysed twice a year. Your feedback will be used to decide which settings will be offered training and support to improve their SEND provision, and to share best practice. We are unable to reply to individual survey responses. 

This questionnaire is NOT a tool for raising complaints about a setting. How to make a complaint about a school or nursery. How to make a complaint about a college

If you need advice or support in relation to your child’s SEND, please contact SSENDIAS (Sheffield Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Advice and Support). Alternatively, you may wish to contact the Sheffield Parent Carer Forum for signposting and peer support.
