It is a year since Cheshire West and Chester parent carer forum (PCE) - an independent body of volunteers that represents families of children and young people with SEND - published a survey into the views, challenges and struggles faced by parents and carers across the borough.

It found that more SEND parents were reaching out for help, but that more people in positions of influence were also willing to listen.
