Special Educational Needs Reform - Survey of Parents/Carers 2025/26

Overview

Thank you for taking part in this short survey to gather the views and experiences of parents and carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) across the entire education system in Northern Ireland.

The questions cover different aspects of SEN and are not limited to your experiences with your child’s school or setting.  If you have more than one child with SEN in education, you are welcome to complete a separate survey for each child.  The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

The information gathered through this survey will be used to monitor and evaluate the SEN Reform Agenda and to inform the future direction of policy on SEN.

This survey does not ask for any personal or identifiable information, and your participation is voluntary. For further details on how your data will be handled, please see our Privacy Notice.
