Gateshead SEND Youth Forum

Make your voice heard!

Do you want to have a say in how we support children and young people with additional needs in Gateshead?

If you are 12-25 years old and have an interest in improving the lives of local young people with additional needs, you can get involved with Gateshead Council's SEND Youth Forum.

The forum meets regularly throughout the year and is part of the wider Gateshead SEND Children and Young People's Network.

If you'd like more information about joining the forum, please contact AlexThompson@Gateshead.Gov.UK.
