Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Board received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Strategy, 50% of which had now been delivered. Oversight and governance of the strategy was retained by the SEND Programme Board, a partnership board which was representative of the statutory agencies as well as having representatives from the parent forum and independent bodies. Throughout the pandemic – including lockdowns – children included in the strategy remained supported by staff. Recent work carried out during the summer term had involved the SEND Advisor visiting all 18 schools in total, which had had the benefit of revitalising the SENCO network.

RESOLVED, that:

the report be noted.
