About this survey
We are Healthwatch Suffolk. We listen to people’s views about using health and social care services. We use what people tell us to help make local services better.
We work with Suffolk County Council, the NHS and local charities. Your answers will help them understand what works well for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Suffolk and what could be better.
Do I have to take part?
No - taking part is your choice. You can leave any question you do not want to answer.

What will the survey ask about?
The survey asks questions about you and the support you get as you grow up and prepare to be an adult. This includes:
· Any special educational needs or disabilities you may have.
· Your education.
· Any support you get from health or social care services.
· Building life skills and independence.
· Your friends and community.
What happens to my answers?
The survey is anonymous. This means we will not ask for your name, and we will not know who you are.
Only the Healthwatch Suffolk team will see all your answers.
Your answers will be put together with answers from other young people. We will share a report about everyone’s answers with:
· The public
· Suffolk County Council
· The NHS
· Local charities
By filling in this survey, you agree that we can use your answers in this way.
