Our SEND Community brings together a picture of the children, young people and families we support, highlighting the diverse experiences, strengths and needs within our community.

The information and visuals below provide an overview of the settings, ages and identities represented, alongside the wide range of conditions and areas of SEND experienced by our members. They also show how needs can overlap, with many children and young people requiring support across more than one area of SEND.

Together, this information helps us understand our community, celebrate its diversity and ensure that the voices, experiences and needs of families remain at the heart of what we do.

Our SEND Community spans a wide geographic area, reflecting the reach and diversity of the families and children we support. The map shows the locations represented across our community, with families living across urban, rural and coastal areas throughout the region.

This broad geographical spread highlights the importance of accessible, inclusive and locally responsive support, ensuring that families can connect with information, advice and opportunities wherever they live.
