Purpose

In order for EPT to be a voice to inform service providers, EPT will facilitate two–way communication between parent carers and services used by children, young people with SEND and their families in the Redbridge. The forum will work to provide feedback on services, offer constructive challenge to current services and input into decision making and planning for future service provision.

EPT believes that by working co-operatively with local service providers parents can contribute to improvements in the services delivered for children and young people with SEND.

Through regular communication with parent/carers’, EPT will be able to decide whether to be involved in a piece of work/consultation.

EPT will ensure a diverse membership and representation of diverse views from children young people with SEND and parent/carers’ from all backgrounds and sectors of the community.
