Respond to the Consultation

The Department for Education say they want to hear from people, particularly parents, carers, children and young people. Please do respond to the consultation. They will interpret silence as meaning you agree with the proposals in full. If you do not agree, they need to hear about it – if a large number of people are telling them that, it makes it much more difficult for them to ignore it.

Deadline to respond: 18th May
