Spectrum Wellbeing and Mental Health Support Survey

Spectrum is committed to supporting the well-being of children and young people with SEND and their families.

We are conducting this survey to better understand our members’ well-being and mental health needs, identify gaps in current services, and explore how Spectrum can provide additional support.

Your responses are anonymous and will help inform future services, funding applications and discussions with local partners. Thank you for taking the time to complete this short survey.

When you hit the submit button at the end of the survey, the page will refresh and display a success message if we have received your submission. It will highlight any errors you have made or missed questions in red.
