On behalf of the Yorkshire and Humber SEND Youth Alliance, I’m pleased to share the Children and Young People’s Change Programme Report, co-produced with our peer researchers (SEND young people), CYP CP Report Final  where 82 young people took part across West Yorkshire. This report captures their lived experiences in education and highlights key challenges such as:

• Limited awareness of educational rights

• Inconsistent and ineffective support

• Bullying and discrimination in schools

  Lack of preparation for adulthood and independence
