This report is the second in the Supporting Success series. Its predecessor – Supporting Success: improving the journey for deafblind/multi-sensory-impaired children and young people – was based upon research carried out in 2011 and 2012 with children, young people, parents, practitioners and local authorities.

This report is a record of discussions at the SEND Policy Roundtable Event on 14 June, 2012 – where the first report was launched in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal and Sarah Teather MP, Minister of State for Children and Families.

This event provided an opportunity for parents, professionals, local authority representatives, civil servants and colleagues from the voluntary sector to discuss the challenges – and possible solutions – to providing better support for deafblind/MSI children and young people.
