Voices Day #2

On Tuesday 4th March 2025, we held our second Voices Day.

A group of SEND Power members worked with council officers and health teams to plan and deliver this day.

Lizzy wears a blue jumper and holds a microphone. She is standing in front of a projector screen with the slides reading "Welcome to Voices Day 2025!" The Head of the Educational Psychologist Service, Sarah, is sitting down in front of the laptop which controls the slides.

We launched the Haringey Working Together Charter, setting out the values that underpin good working relationships – kindness, empathy, trust, safety and belonging.

A competition was held to design the central image, and Haringey’s SEND youth group, Elevated Youth, chose four winners across different categories.

Post-16 and overall competition winner, Daniel, along with his mum, Cathy, and Natasha from Elevated Youth (Haringey's SEND Youth Forum) and Councillor Zena Brabazon.

Leading up to the day, a number of focus groups had held discussions about what was working well, and things that were more challenging.

One of the activities on the day - working together to stack the cups on top of each other but by only using the strings!

Throughout the day we heard directly from these parents and young people about their own experiences.

Tudy-Ann, a Haringey SEND parent and member of our Steering Group said, “It was amazing; every bit of my journey was reflected”.

Parents, carers, young people, and practitioners designed their own charter logo.

The charter was well received, and will be rolled out to all schools, settings and teams in Haringey.
