An opportunity for change
The event marked a pivotal moment to raise awareness about the challenges young people with SEND face as they transition from education into adulthood.
MPs, politicians, and representatives from external organisations came together to hear directly about the barriers these young people encounter and the urgent need for reform in adult social care and support systems.
This event was not just about sharing our findings; it was about driving action. We called on policymakers, advocates, and communities to address systemic failures and create pathways that empower young people with SEND to thrive.
