A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time to attend today’s Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) Consultation Brunch, hosted by Councillors Vinay Manro and Leanne Stevenson, and shared their experiences, ideas, and insights.
Your feedback is invaluable as we begin exploring what a SEND-inclusive outdoor play and activity space for teenagers and adults could provide. The conversations we’ve had today will help us better understand local needs and ensure that any future plans are shaped by the people who matter most.
We’re incredibly grateful to Little Grazey for providing the beautiful brunch platters that helped make the morning so welcoming. 
We appreciated the insight from key speakers Infinity Playgrounds and Harlequin Group, and the shared experiences from Mums on a Mission, Teamability, Uplands Trust, GLL Haydon Centre, SEND School Teachers and the Support Workers & Residents from Argyll House. Together, we’re taking the first steps towards creating more inclusive, accessible outdoor spaces that support wellbeing, independence and community connection for everyone. 
If you weren’t able to join us, there’s still time to have your say by completing our short survey:
