Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are visiting St Helens to inspect the local arrangements for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND).
The inspectors want to know about the help and support that children and young people with SEND get and want your help to fill in one of the surveys listed below, in confidence.
The surveys will close at 9am on Tuesday 27 January 2026.
