Changes to our Facebook page

Please note that from Friday, 15 March, the Cumbria SEND Partnership Facebook page will become the Cumberland SEND Partnership page, with a separate Westmorland and Furness SEND Partnership page now in place.

The page will have a new name (Cumberland SEND Partnership) and profile picture.

The page is used to share news, information, events, resources, and stories from the local area and wider that may be of interest to young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) and/or their families. Please note that prior to 15 March, the page will still be branded as the Cumbria SEND Partnership).

The page will continue to post relevant county-wide posts until the new Westmorland and Furness SEND Partnership page has an established following.

This change is happening following the Cumbria SEND Partnership recently splitting into two new local area partnerships, after Local Government Reorganisation took place in Cumbria. The two new SEND Partnerships (Cumberland SEND Partnership and Westmorland and Furness SEND Partnership) will continue to work with colleagues from their relevant councils (either Cumberland or Westmorland and Furness), NHS and Health colleagues, and parent and carer forums.

The decision to rebrand this page to the Cumberland SEND Partnership came from where the majority of the page audience live, based on available data from Facebook.
