Action Change Equality (ACE) groups are for children and young people aged under 19 who have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) and attend a school or college in Royal Greenwich. The groups are based in schools.
Being part of ACE gives children and young people the opportunity to voice their views on making services in Greenwich more suitable for those with SEND
How ACE groups work
We currently have 10 ACE groups that:
- run in 9 schools across the borough
- involve approximately 70 students
- are supported by school staff who help run ACE meetings
- represent a range of SEND experiences
- tell us what they think about our SEND services
We have plans to expand our ACE groups to involve more children and young people.
ACE meetings
ACE meetings are flexible and interactive. The aim is to let participants contribute in an open and creative way that meets individual communication and learning needs.
Over the past year, ACE groups have:
- told us what’s important to them in Greenwich
- helped to choose the new Head of Sensory Service
- helped to choose the new Strategic Lead for SEND
- talked with some managers from the council
- worked with The Children’s Society
- given their views to London’s Your Choice
