Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are visiting our area, as part of an inspection. They will be looking at arrangements for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They would like to hear your views about the support that your child receives.
You can provide your views by completing an online survey at the following link: https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/AreaSEND-ParentCarer/10420455
This survey is for parents/carers of children and young people with SEND aged 0-25. Your views are important to help inspectors understand your child’s experience of the SEND arrangements within your area.
The survey will close at 9am on 13 October 2026. The survey is voluntary, and you do not have to take part. The responses will complement the evidence collected by inspectors during the inspection. They do not ask for your name.
If you complete this survey, you consent to the transfer of your information from SmartSurvey to Ofsted. For more information about how CQC and Ofsted collect and use data during inspections please see their individual privacy policies:

Red heat-health alert🌡️
A message from Devon County Council
A red heat-health alert has been issued for the South West by the UK Health Security Agency from 1am on Wednesday 24 June to 11pm on Thursday 25 June. Alongside this, the Met Office has issued an amber extreme heat warning from today until Thursday 25 June.
These alerts indicate a heightened risk to health, with impacts expected across communities, particularly for those who are more vulnerable.
High temperatures can increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion and more serious health issues. While anyone can be affected, some people are more vulnerable – particularly older residents, young children and those with underlying health conditions.
Simple actions can make a big difference:
• Stay hydrated and avoid the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm)
• Keep homes cool by closing curtains during the day and opening windows when it’s cooler
• Limit strenuous activity during peak heat
Just as importantly, we’re encouraging a strong community response. Checking in on neighbours, friends and family – especially those who may be more vulnerable or isolated – is one of the most effective ways to reduce harm during hot weather. Helping people to stay connected and supported can make a real difference.
A helpful source of advice you can share with residents is the UK Health Security Agency’s guidance: Beat the heat – staying safe in hot weather.
If you’re sharing messages locally or on social media, please encourage residents to look out for one another and seek help if they need it.
