Shout Out Reps
Our Shout Out Reps speak for their school, college, friends and community.
They meet virtually once a month to share the views of young people with SEND in Buckinghamshire.
Any ideas they have for improving local SEND services are given to those who make decisions at the council.
Shout Out for SEND is a way to have your say and make sure that:
- local activities and services are suitable for young people with SEND
- young people with SEND are being listened to by the council, and their school or college
If you want to share your views and experiences or get involved, email the Shout Out for SEND team
SEND Young Inspectors
SEND Young Inspectors are young people who visit local activities and clubs that are suitable for people with SEND.
Our SEND Young Inspectors then tell us what they think about the club or activity.
Their views help clubs to make sure they meet the needs of young people with SEND.
The reports written by Young Inspectors allow others to find out what a club or activity is like before they go.
At the moment we are looking for SEND Young Inspectors aged 12 to 25.

Our annual conference for young people is a day of creative and fun activities.
You also get a chance to talk to senior people at Buckinghamshire Council. They can help to make sure that your voice is heard.

The group meets every month during school term time.
