Announcing a review of parent carer participation in Haringey

Amaze are an independent charity that supports families of children and young people with SEND across Sussex. As you may be aware,
Amaze has been asked by Haringey Council to review parent participation and co-production in the borough to see how effective it is for families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
As part of the review, Amaze are running parent carer focus groups during school hours in w/c 2nd March, plus a webinar and an online survey running for parent carers who wish to input this way.

Haringey SEND Transport are insisting that a 17 year old minibus with no air conditioning is a suitable vehicle to transport my paraplegic son in this heatwave. The appalling conditions inside the minibus inside the bus is something they knew about last summer, yet they have to date done nothing whatsoever provide a suitable minibus this year nor appropriately mitigate the temperatures inside the minibus.The conditions inside the minibus are so bad that they triggered multiple seizures during the heatwave as my son has epilepsy, which they SEND transport department know about and they also know that they are triggered by heat.It is not just son who is impacted: last year we know of one child who died on Haringey SEND Transport in the summer heatwave and another who had seizures.
