PARENTS and carers are being asked to have their say on Dorset’s effectiveness in meeting its responsibilities for young people with special education needs and disabilities.

From Monday, Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will inspect the county’s effectiveness in meeting these responsibilities.

Inspectors will check that the local area meets the needs of these children and young people so that their outcomes and chances of participating fully in society improve.

As part of this inspection an online webinar will be held to allow parents and carers to contribute.

It will be led by an inspector who will ask parents and carers about their views and experiences on how effectively the Dorset local area is fulfilling its responsibilities.

Parents and carers can have their say at the hour-long webinar from 7pm on Monday, January 23.
