Your views wanted

Minister for Vulnerable Children and Families Edward Timpson has asked Dame Christine Lenehan to conduct an independent review looking at the outcomes and experiences of children and young people attending residential special schools and colleges. A call for evidence was launched today (23 January) to seek views on the experiences of children and young people attending residential education.  If you work at a residential college, or have attended as a student or are a parent or supporter of a student, please submit your views to questions such as the quality of the experience, how and why the young person gained a place at a residential specialist college, and the pattern of provision across the country. Natspec will be submitting evidence based on staff and student stories, and videos and evidence from student campaigns.
