Feedback and comments 2025
19th June 2025 - Comment from parent during SEND Local Offer development group meeting
YOU SAID: There are multiple listings for the individual link clubs across the county, it would be useful to have one central place, which explains what the link clubs are and can link through to the individual listings.
WE DID: Created a new directory listing for the link clubs with general information, which has links to all the individual clubs. A member of the Youth Service has been assigned to update this listing as required.
4th June 2025 - Contact from the Challenging Behaviour Foundation
YOU SAID: Can you add information to your website on support offered through the Positive Behaviour support Consultancy for children and young people with learning disability and associated challenging behaviours.
WE DID: We liaised with health colleagues to enquire about their knowledge of PBS Consultancy in the commissioning of support for families in Nottinghamshire. They advised that PBS Consultancy (now known as PSG – Positive Support Group) provide the Behaviour Intensive Community Support (BICS) service in Nottinghamshire. PSG has a link on the new Nottinghamshire health website called All Kinds of Minds. We therefore created a new tile in the health and social care section of the SEND Local Offer to link directly to this website. We also contacted the Positive Support Group and provided details on how they can add a directory listing on the SEND Local Offer for families searching for this support.
23rd May 2025 - Contact from Integrated Children's Disability Service (ICDS) worker
YOU SAID: Can you add a podcast on supported internships in Nottinghamshire for young people to the preparing for adulthood section.
WE DID: Added the podcast in the preparing for adulthood routes to work section.
17th March 2025 - Feedback during SEND Local Offer development group meeting
YOU SAID: It can be difficult to find the newly created SEND map (guide to local support for children and young people with SEND in Nottinghamshire) pages through the search function as it is not visible from the home page.
WE DID: Held discussions with the Project Team who were responsible for producing the SEND Map and moving forward it was agreed that the SEND map would be incorporated into the discussions for the new community directory and can therefore be built into the new home page for the SEND Local Offer if this is felt to be the best place for it in terms of the navigation. We also added additional keywords to support searches for these pages in the interim.
03rd March 2025 - Contact from parent
YOU SAID: The Neurodevelopmental Support Team’s Autism & ADHD Parent/Carer support groups information is out of date.
WE DID: Made contact with the service who updated the information on the support groups.
08th February 2025 - Contact from parent
YOU SAID: The information on disabled facilties grants is confusing and needs to be updated.
WE DID: Reviewed the disabled facilities grant service directory listing and updated this to be clearer to users.
