SENDItForward | The Advocacy Fellows #14

For Learning Disability Week, the Advocacy Fellows are shining a light on special educational needs (SEND) and meeting the inspiring young ambassadors from SEND It Forward, a youth voice project within Action for Children Kernow Connect.

📚 With over 1.6 million pupils in England needing extra support and 400,000+ with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), we ask: are their voices being heard?

💬 Featuring: Olivia, Seren and Jack – sharing how they:

• Amplify the voices of young people with SEND
• Support change at a local level in Cornwall
• Campaign for more inclusive and accessible communities
• Engage with decision-makers through the SEND Board
• Encourage others aged 5–25 to join or share feedback

We welcome a variety of hosts all with their own podcast series, giving their own outlook and take on topics and discussions that are close to their heart.

We try our very best to make these podcasts as accessible as possible, that includes captioning every video with closed captions. We apologise in advance for any slight grammatical errors with the captioning.
