Lincolnshire Young Voices
Lincolnshire Young Voices is a group of young people (aged 11–25) with lived experience of SEND. Their mission is to make sure young voices are heard when decisions are made about SEND services and support in Lincolnshire.
They are currently on the look out for more young people to join the team.
If your child is interested in getting involved then please email:
lincolnshireyoungvoices@lincolnshire.gov.uk
What do they do?
The group currently meets at St Christopher’s SEND School in Lincoln, but they're looking to rotate meetings around the county if there’s interest from outside Lincoln. They also offer digital participation options.
You can find more about the young voices on the website:
