YOUNG people with SEND and their families in Warwickshire are invited to join a forum to share their experiences.
IMPACT gives young people with SEND a space to share their views, influence decisions, and help shape more accessible and supportive services across the county.
Taking place on Monday (March 16) from 7pm until 8pm via Microsoft Teams, the informal session will offer attendees the chance to discover what IMPACT does, how it represents young people aged 13 to 25, and the many ways young people can get involved in shaping SEND services across the county.
The event will be led by Warwickshire’s Voice, Influence and Change team, alongside young people who are already part of IMPACT. They will share their experiences, explain how the forum works, and be available to answer questions from families and other young people interested in joining.
WCC’s education spokesperson Coun Wayne Briggs said: “Ensuring that young people with SEND have meaningful opportunities to share their experiences and shape the support they receive is incredibly important. IMPACT provides a powerful platform for young people to have their voices heard and to influence real change across Warwickshire. I would encourage any young person or family wanting to learn more to join this event and see how they can get involved.”
To reserve a free place, attendees are asked to complete a short online booking form. Once registered, a confirmation email will be sent with the Teams link to join the session.
