Over the summer HPCI will be focusing on working with Hertfordshire County Council’s Children’s Services about
ensuring a safe and effective return to school and college for children and young people with SEND across the
County. We will do this by representing the concerns and experiences of families at meetings with professionals,
ensuring that communication to families is clear and timely along with our own communications directly to
parents. If you have a child with special educational needs and/or a disability and would like to add your voice to
our parent network then join online HERE
