Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Inspection Framework and CoL Draft SEND Strategy

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

Minutes:

Members were provided with an update regarding the publication of a new Ofsted/CQC Inspection Framework for the provision of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) which was published in May 2016. This inspection framework prompted an internal review of the current SEND Strategy

and Policy (2013–17) which was ratified at Community and Children’s Services

Committee in July 2013.

 

The new inspection framework was an ‘area’ inspection with the local authority as the hub of each area. The Draft SEND Strategy was aligned to the themes for inspection articulated within the newly published framework.

 

Resolved – that the strategy be received.
