BBPCF Annual Survey 2026 - Coming Soon

 

Our Annual Survey is your opportunity to tell us about your experiences of SEND services and support across Bedford Borough. Whether this is your first time completing our survey or you've shared your views with us before, we want to hear from you. Your feedback helps us understand what is working well, where families are experiencing challenges, and what needs to improve. The findings are brought together in our Outcomes Report and shared with Bedford Borough Council, health, education and other local partners to help influence and shape SEND services. The 2026 Annual Survey is coming soon. Please check back here for the survey link and further information.
