I missed the 2023 Break Time registration window as I didn’t know it was open.

(Emails/Facebook)

We did

For 2024/25 registrations we'll send “Save the date” information well in advance of the opening date. We'll continue to advertise up to and throughout the registration window. The ongoing advertising will span almost 4 months giving families plenty of opportunity to prepare for registration.

There are not enough Break Time providers in Lancashire.

(Engagement events, Facebook comments)

We did

The Break Time team sought out new providers via social media messages and virtual provider events. We also asked parent carers to tell their preferred providers about the Break Time service. As a result, we have two new Break Time providers in 2023.

You said

Parent carers and children and young people want to have a say in shaping SEND services.
