Share your insights in a nationwide survey on early years special educational needs and disabilities

Attention all early years educators and childcare providers!

Your expertise is needed to shape the future of early years SEND in England. The Local Government Association (LGA), in collaboration with Isos Partnership, is conducting a crucial survey to understand the evolving needs of children from the perspective of those on the frontlines.

Whether you lead or work in private and voluntary settings, school-based early years providers, or as childminders, your voice matters. This is your chance to contribute to a national report that will guide the LGA’s support and advice for councils, and influence discussions with government and key stakeholders.

The survey is quick and easy, featuring 15 multiple-choice questions designed to take no more than 10 minutes. We’ll also ask a few questions about your role to help us analyse the responses effectively.
