About

Department for Education awarded a contract to Contact for the SEND Strategic Participation 21/22 programme, valued at £4,584,916.

The contract aimed to support the continued improvement of coproduction at national, local and individual levels, including in the context of the continuing pandemic and national recovery.

It ensured the effective involvement of parents, carers and young people in the design and delivery of SEND services and provision, including the continued embedding of the voices of SEND stakeholders in national policy development to support system-wide improvements.

The programme was required to respond to the long-term impact of Covid-19 in the delivery of its business objectives and adapt its delivery in light of emerging priorities and recommendations identified through the SEND Review.
