Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are carrying out an inspection of services and support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Devon.

As part of the inspection, inspectors want to hear directly from children and young people with SEND, parents and carers, and practitioners. They use this feedback to help them understand people’s experiences of SEND services and support across Devon.

Devon County Council are encouraging children, young people and their families to share their experiences directly with inspectors by completing the survey. Responses will be treated confidentially by the inspection team.

Complete the survey here: https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/p/AreaSend/10420455

The surveys is open until 9am on 13 October 2026.
