Every Story Counts
We know that statistics alone don’t show the whole picture. Real stories from families like yours help us demonstrate the urgent need for a new specialist school in Scarborough. By sharing your experience, you can help us lobby North Yorkshire Council and decision-makers to act now.
By sharing your story, you’ll help us shine a light on the challenges children and parents face every day - and show why change can’t wait any longer.
How We Can Use Your Story
With your permission, short excerpts or individual sentences can be used in campaign materials, in letters to councillors and MPs, and in evidence we present to North Yorkshire Council.
You can choose to remain anonymous.
We will always respect your privacy and never share personal details without your consent.
What to Write About
You don’t need to write a lot - just a few sentences is enough. Here are some prompts that might help you:
What challenges has your child faced in accessing suitable education locally?
How has the lack of provision affected your child’s wellbeing, learning, or future opportunities?
What has been the impact on your family life - emotionally, financially, or practically?
What difference would a local specialist school make for you?
