SEND Consultations
Improving support descriptions for children with SEND
Haringey Council aimed to update and revise the language used to describe the needs of children with SEND. New Banding Descriptors for children and young people with an Education, Health Care Plan (EHCP) were co-produced with parents, carers, schools, health professionals, and psychologists.
The public consultation was the final step in gathering feedback and insight from the public to refine and finalise the Banding Descriptors for accuracy.
The public consultation lasted 8 weeks, from 5 October 2023 to 1 December 2023. We organised online and in-person events across Haringey to allow everyone to share their thoughts, ask questions, and participate.
The Personal Outcomes Evaluation Tool (POET) survey
The POET survey, conducted by the voluntary group, 'In-Control' (external link), ran from Monday, 7 November, to Friday, 2 December 2022. The purpose of the survey was to gain insight into the thoughts of young people with SEND, their parents, carers, and practitioners on the quality of the SEND provision in Haringey.

SEND Home School Transport consultation 2022
The SEND transport consultation is now closed. You can find the new policies on the SEND transport application page.
We are introducing a more detailed account of how decisions are made in the interests of transparency and to ensure our stakeholders are as informed as possible. This will also ensure that there is less confusion and misinformation in the community.
Haringey SEND Strategy 2022-2025
- This consultation is now closed - thank you to everyone who took part
We asked for your views on the Haringey SEND (Special Educational Needs, Disabilities) strategy.
The survey ran from Monday 20 September to Sunday 7 November 2021.
What we consulted on
The strategy outlined how we plan to further develop the SEND offer in Haringey over the next 3 years.
The priorities within the SEND Strategy have been informed by:
- a self-assessment across the SEND partnership
- a review of current service provision within the local authority SEND service
- a series of informal conversation events with parents and carers that took place across June and August 2021
- findings from the Ofsted and CQC inspection of SEND services in Haringey (5 to 9 July 2021)
What we wanted to find out
- Clarify if the priorities were clear to you
- Find out what priorities are the most and least important to you
- Understand what you liked about the strategy
- Understand in what ways the strategy could be improved
- Understand if there was anything missing from the strategy that should be included
- Understand what impact you think the strategy would have on you, your children, family and our wider community and partnerships
