Youth Voice - Have Your Say Group
About this group
This group is for young people who are passionate about wanting to make a difference for young people who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Learn what SEND means.
Join us for fun activities in a friendly environment, learn new skills, make new friends and play games whilst talking about things that matter to you.
By joining you can:
- drive improvements in SEND services
- help improve and make recommendations for SEND support within education and other services
- develop resources to help SEND young people, education professionals and other services.
What other young people think of this group
"Sharing my opinion and stuff and talking open in a group because a year ago I wouldn’t have been able to do that."
"It's really welcoming, you don’t feel judged or on the spot because your new."
"It's really fun, I haven’t been part of this group for long but can already tell its going to help me."
"I can share more of my personality and who I am now, and not who I used to be. I can show my true personality and who I actually want to be known as and not hide it."
"It has helped me with school and my life and I can get a lot of things of my mind here. Here is more of a safe space to talk about things"

This group is available if you're 11 to 18-years-old who have or know of someone with SEND. We meet face-to-face at County Hall, Maidstone ME14 1XX, one Saturday a month between 10am to 12pm.
