SEND Participation Engagement Officer- Marianna Lill
Marianna is responsible for ensuring that the voice of all children and young people with additional needs, disabilities, learning differences and SEN are heard, in various ways, including through meetings, and consultations and through young people’s engagement groups. These provide a chance for young people to share their ideas, views, experiences and opinions on topics important to them. This helps us develop services across the Local Offer relevant to the young people who will access them.
