The Integrated SEND Service endeavours to always work with you to support all of our children and young people in Buckinghamshire to achieve the best possible outcomes.  We pride ourselves on our service ambition, and strive to achieve excellent service, through working in partnership with all other professionals, and children and families.

If you feel that the service is not supporting the delivery of these outcomes in the way that it should, you can escalate your concerns using the following procedure.

Step 1

Contact your designated Education, Health and Care Co-ordinator (EHCCo).  You can find the most up-to-date list on our Local Offer by clicking the link below.
