Strategy priorities were highlighted, including resuming school psychologist visits and assessing needs and progress of SEND children. The parent-carer forum had been reviewed and refreshed. With respect to the focus on transition to adulthood, a Task-and-Finish Group was established which included wide representation of colleagues across adult and children social care, education colleagues, Culture Mile, employment and apprentices to set up strands of work for SEND young people. The taskforce’s first meeting was scheduled for the following week.
