The Lamb Inquiry was set up to advise the Secretary of State on the most effective ways of increasing parental confidence in the SEN assessment process. It has been asked to consider a range of ways in which this might be achieved, before reporting to the Secretary of State in September 2009.
The Inquiry is very interested in your views of the SEN system: what underpins parents’ confidence, what undermines it; what works, what doesn’t and what you think should be changed. We have a number of questions that we would like you to answer. Your comments will be entirely confidential and at no time will you be identified.
Please complete one of the questionnaires by following the appropriate link on the right. We have designed them to be as brief as possible whilst allowing you to have your say on a range of different questions.
If your child or the child you look after would like to complete a questionnaire too, we would like that very much. You can each complete one; feel free to provide help should your child need it.
You can also send in other evidence, from research or surveys, which may help to inform the Inquiry.
The Institute of Education and the University of Warwick are supporting the Inquiry with the survey, the gathering of evidence and the analysis of the research. The survey will be analysed by the researchers, as will other evidence that you send in.
The call for evidence closes at 10.00pm on 30 June 2009.
If you have any questions about the survey or about the submission of evidence to the Inquiry, please contact Penelope Brown: p.brown@ioe.ac.uk
We are most grateful to you for taking the time to contribute your views.
