The Written Statement of Action has been co-produced in response to a local area inspection of Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) which took place in July 2021. The local area includes not just Warwickshire County Council, but also the Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS providers, schools and settings. As part of the inspection, the Inspectors reviewed evidence of how children and young people with SEND are identified, how their needs are assessed and met, and how they are supported to move on to their next stage of education, the world of work and wider preparation for adulthood.   

The final inspection report was issued in September 2021 and noted some positive action including the commitment of leadership across the local area to improving outcomes for children and young people through its ambitious SEND and Inclusion Change Programme. It also noted that children and young people with SEND achieve positive educational outcomes, and a high proportion of them remain in education, training and employment. Attendance rates for children and young people with SEND are very positive and fixed-term exclusions have reduced dramatically.
