Family Voice Peterborough have taken the decision to write to Ministers of State for Education and Health to raise concerns over reduced funding for Peterborough and the impact this is having on SEND services across Health and Education.

We have hear many times from parents and professionals that the system is poorly funded and capacity and resources are being outstripped by an ever increasing demand.We are sharing with people interested details of a national campaign being driven by parents to raise awareness of the need for better funding for SEND nationally.
